1 - I didn't wear a watch for ages. 20 years or so. A few weeks ago I thought I'd like to start running, and so it made sense to buy a smart watch (for pulse measurement and navigation in the forest). I got used to it very quickly and like it for the fitness features. So I'm wearing a watch again.
2 - Switzerland is known for the art of watchmaking. What impact do, and will, these digital objects have on this tradition? The Apple watch is not a beautiful object and lacking the charm of an analogue, perhaps even mechanical watch. It has no personality. At least the wristband is nice and personal.
3 - It took me quite some time to take a good photo. 10 minutes for the setup, 50 minutes of photographing , 10 minutes for tidying up the thousands of scattered cogwheels in my classroom. 10 minutes to browse through the 150 pics to choose one and 20 to edit it. And all of this for 1/5000 second (time of the flash) and a glimpse of the eye of all of the Tookapic users.
