Wearables are now part of everyday life. Many people now wear a smartwatch as a matter of course, count their steps, monitor the quality of their sleep or set reminders to take breaks during the day. And I'm happy to admit it: I also have a Apple Watch myself, and I find this technology absolutely fascinating in its own way. It can do things that would have been pure dreams of the future just a few years ago. Nevertheless, I rarely use my Apple Watch.
And just now, after the latest reports and statements from experts, I realize once again that this reticence is not so wrong. After all, many modern headphones and wearables now contain sensors that can measure far more than you might think at first glance. Not all headphones do - but the trend is clear: more and more technology is moving inconspicuously into small devices that we wear close to our bodies.
Another year has passed since Steve Jobs succumbed to cancer on October 5, 2011. Just a few weeks before that, Steve Jobs announced that he would no longer be able to perform his duties at Apple. This does not seem to have affected Apple's success since then, as the iPhone 5 is once again selling like hotcakes. However, Steve Jobs was still personally involved in the development of the current iPhone. Time for a little timeline in the form of a series of photos of previously current Apple mobile devices that the Apple CEO has launched since his return to Apple.
Last week I was in Berlin for a few days and was able to gain many interesting impressions, which I would like to describe below. The short trip to Berlin was also an excellent opportunity to put my relatively new Nikon Coolpix P300 through its paces - so the picture galleries in this article are all from the Nikon P300. The days in Berlin were exciting, and I was able to admire an original Microsoft Surface table for the first time, which is part of the equipment of the "Q110 - The Deutsche Bank of the Future" branch in Friedrichstraße. But first things first. First, I'd like to explain why it's a good idea for business travelers to leave the car at home, and then I'll tell you what I experienced in Berlin.
