    I have been researching activity trackers for awhile and happened upon this one last week after seeing so many coming new ones coming out of CES. It seems to be different than many of the other ones I have seen and just wanted to share.

    Wow, that is very interesting. It's like the Nike fuel band and Ct Scan in one. I wonder about the cost for something like that, especially the the monitoring of it. I wonder about the applications as well, besides home use I mean. Businesses and government could also use this monitoring system for employees or soldiers. Wait am I getting to SyFy with this? Anyway, very interesting gadget...I would love to go to CES one day! #emac6300

    I am starting to think it is just me, but these types of wearables freak me out. I understand the health benefits and many of its pros, but I don't want anything monitoring my body all the time. Like those smart contacts, again I can see where they would really help someone, but I would be freaked out having a computer chip on my eye.

    I totally see what you're saying Katy. I am not a fan of wearing contacts, so that would be a problem for me, but if it monitord my glucose levels and only I and my healthcare provider were the one's who could view the data I would be ok with it. The activity tracker/wristband thing isn't something I'd even want to wear all the time, just when I'm working out. But yah, not sure I'd want to be "Monitored" all the time! :)

    Texting can make you drive like a drunk. Now a new study shows that texting can also make you walk like a robot. Researchers found that healthy people who read or send texts while hoofing it show subtle but potentially hazardous changes to their gait.

    I know I have tripped walking up and down stairs while trying to text. There was a story a few years about a girl who was walking and texting at the same time and she wan't paying attention and fell into a pothole. She ended up suing the city for not having the pothole covered and she won!

    It seems silly, but I wager that had she been distracted by looking through her bag or some other reason, we would be more sympathetic. My guess would be that the reason of the distraction didn't make the city any less negligent.

    Here's an app that allows people to view their path ahead while on their phones. It activates your camera and allows you too see both your screen and the ground. The iPhone version only lets you text and tweet while the android app works for any app in universal mode. People would probably still walk like robots, but maybe they wouldn't trip or step on anything. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incorporateapps.walktext&hl=en https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/type-n-walk/id331043123?mt=8

    SkyDrive, Microsoft's cloud storage service, has a new app for iPhone that will automatically upload photos stored in your camera roll to your account.Users of competing services like Dropbox and Google Drive should already be familiar with this concept.

    Norma, I have SkyDrive but am still new to using it. I do love how Mac and my iPhone are in sync with each other. I love the iCloud and other services like it, (DropBox) it comes in handy when sharing for work, or for home.

    Just found this site Vizify.com it is a web builder site, but it also tracks your activity on the social media sites you want it to. Just thought it was fun to see and maybe helpful too. I thought about @purplekimchi and her tracking charts of our tweets when I saw this.
