I remember we had a telephone that was a party line. In those days, it was high-tech to make a phone call on a 3-party telephone line. Party lines provided no privacy in communication; phones were frequently used as a source of entertainment and gossip, as well as a means of quickly alerting entire neighborhoods of emergencies.
Today, a variety of tasks can be performed at any time and anywhere. It allows those tasks to be performed via cellular phones, vehicles, and laptops. We now hold a GPS route framework, a web browser, an instant messenger framework, and a video gaming framework right in our hands. There are numerous transmission mediums like radio waves, microwaves, infra-red, GPS, and Bluetooth that are utilized to exchange information by means of voice, content, video, 2-dimensional barcodes, and the sky's the limit from there.
This image was created by Ace to show me wearing a concept design for a holographic wearable projection interface—essentially the next massive evolution of the smartwatch. Instead of forcing you to tap on a tiny glass screen on your wrist, the device uses a micro-projector to beam the entire interface directly onto your skin. Based on the hologram in the image, it can do a lot of the heavy lifting you'd normally need a phone or a monitor for:
Real-time Notifications: It pulls up emails, messages, and task alerts (like those Trello notes) so you can read them right off your hand.
Quick Access Apps: The floating icons show it is tied into voice commands (the microphone), GPS/location tracking, a mail client, and weather updates.
Ambient Display: It keeps the time anchored right where a traditional watch face would normally be.
