The Unpredictable

Crabapple Blossoms

Husband M and I went on a rainy day to get all of our passports renewed. We were lucky and it only took an hour. I asked the young lady at the kiosk how she felt about the news that the government had plans to update the security in her office to be ready for such things as terror attacks. She said she didn't care, felt safe enough and didn't see the point of worrying about the unpredictable.

I noticed she was wearing an apple watch. It seems to be a popular device being embraced by many people. She said she would definitely recommend it. Being a student, she found it very helpful in class, as opposed to having to reach for her phone from time to time. It made me think that if I got one, I would have to wear it on my right, non dominant hand so I could use it.  I have no plans to get one.

    I'm not sure about apple watches, it's the wearing them next to your skin that concerns me. With an iPhone it's in a case, or bag, or even pocket, but the signals with a watch would come through and onto your actual skin....no, not convinced. Any thoughts Christine?

      Ann that's a very valid concern, never occurred to me.

    In your big city, one hour to get the job done is terrific!

    I've always worn a watch and would love to have an iWatch, but just can't justify the cost.

    For me the watch would not work because I enjoy my unplugged time too much. I do have a smart phone but I don't do email, Internet or any social media stuff on it. So the watch ... ehhhh, not so much for me.

    Love your photo Christine!
    Our crabapple tree is in full bloom, too!
    I hope people don't become to complacent about security and terrorist. We still must be aware of what is going on around us. The young usually don't feel that vulnerable.
    Nope! Not interested in wearing anything the Fitbit nor the Apple watch!
