The author talks about smartwatches and how it can potentially be the new technological gadget advancement after smartphones. He talks about how it changed from being seen as a complete waste of money to being seen as the next "iPhone." He explains us how these smartwatches would work and why people would like to have this instead of just the smartphones. He says that the idea of smarwatches is still a subject in question. Analysts do not know whether the problem with smartwatches is the concept or the execution of the product. Motorola, a big phone selling company, has released the most advanced smartwatch made to this day and it has been a success in the first weeks. He says people were excited to buy them and that the product was sold out farely quickly in shops. Then, he talks of how this can open a huge door to other big similar companies including- Samsung, LG, Apple, Sony- to make there own smartwatches. He specifically talks about Apple that is going to announce the creation of this new product called an iWatch. The people's response to it is still a mistery and the author says it's just a matter of time to see whether this will be a success.
