Wearables, Watches & Wearablity
Watches are a great way to think about how products should be designed to last. We should aspire to the watch design for we live with watches. They have to withstand constraints of life. Water, dust, scratches. — Yves Behar, designer.
Designer Yves Behar’s comments were in the back of my mind when I was talking to Stacey Higginbotham as a guest on her podcast about the Internet of things. We discussed the idea of how to bring the internet of things to the consumer — and as always I have an opinion about the whole thing. You can download the show here or simply listen to the whole thing on Soundcloud.
