What kind of wearable device do you want? Assuming it will work and feel like you imagine it would - Lemmy.ca

It’s getting cold and so I’m fumbling with my phone and other devices. I like the idea of a large screen on my forearm, but I’m not sure how it would work. I see some company tried in 2014 and probably didn’t get anywhere (see Arubixs Portal), and there was that infamous Kickstarter too

I already hate that I have to have my phone with me at all times (cause of work and family that wants me to be available). Definitely don’t want to wear another thing tracking me, distracting me and spamming notifications.

If I had to switch my phone to a wearable the best would probably be an earpiece that reads text for me, if needed.

Glasses and wristbands are a privacy nightmare and I can’t wait for people to get AR ads with their shiny new glasses.

Aw man, why did you have to ruin it by being such a pessimist! An entirely accurate and correct pessimist.
