Happy Halloween and Happy UN Day of 7 Billion!
Today, the world's expected to reach 7 billion people. It's been only a dozen years since the last billion, in 1999. I wonder if the rate of population growth is slowing down and if it is, what might the world's population be in another few decades.
Some hours ago, I was reading up on two Bluetooth wristwatches ideal for Android phones: the MetaWatch and the i'm watch. Considering that I recently (2011-07-17) purchased the über-expensive LG GD910 watch phone, I'm not exactly ready for more tech watches, but I still keep track of what's out there. Besides, I use a BlackBerry as my primary device anyway (before asking, yes I do have the inPulse Smartwatch but I'm wearing the LG most of the time). I think it's pretty cool that wristwatch tech is starting to catch up with the rest of our technological lives but I think considering the battery life, these watches won't hit mainstream until Bluetooth v4.0 Low Energy Profile gets in more devices. The usual chicken and egg problem.
