Wearable Technology
One of the devices chose to research is the FitBit. A FitBit is a small device that can be attached to one's clothing or worn on the wrist as a watch. The FitBit monitors physical activity and helps one become more active. The FitBit can monitor the activity level of a person, including the number of steps taken. It can also measure the rate of activity, whether it is a slow walk or a fast-paced run. The FitBit can further monitor sleep patterns, collecting data on how many hours of restful sleep one has had in contrast to tossing and turning during the night. It will even alert the user if activity level falls below what is needed to meet a fitness goal. The FitBit has a wireless base station in which the data is transferred once the user passes within a certain distance. From there, the information goes into the user's profile.

The second device I chose to research is the Kerv Ring or K Ring. The K Ring is the world's first contact-less payment ring. The K Ring can by used anywhere MasterCard contact-less payments can be made. There is no need for a pin, signature, or smart phone. It also never needs charging. The K Ring is made of scratch resistant material and is waterproof, so it is extremely durable. The Kerv Ring allows the user to add cards directly onto the app or browser. One can also load the ring with cash so cards do not have to be associated with it. You can also use it like an e-money account to send money to people. The K Ring is similar to a credit card because it is encrypted to match the security of chips in cards.
