The following are two technical gadgets from a Wall Street Journal article titled: "The Tech That Will Change your life in 2015":
- Fitness Trackers That Actually Help You
Two big advances may, when they finally reach maturity, make us healthier humans. First, fitness bands and smartwatches—even connected workout clothing—are getting packed with sensors to track everything from heart rate to sun exposure. Second, instead of just saying you walked 4,382 steps today, cloud-connected apps are gaining increasing powers to interpret this data to provide meaningful workout and lifestyle feedback.
How to get ready: With Google, Apple, Microsoft and countless startups vying to win your heart (or at least your heart-rate data), the best thing you can do, ironically, is sit back and see which devices and platforms start living up to their lofty promises. If you’re wondering if a fitness tracker is something you’d want at all, try a cheap, dependable one like the $50 Jawbone UpMove.
- It’s a 4K World
This year, 4K TVs will become standard at 65 inches or higher. These Ultra HD TVs pack four times the resolution of HD, so you can see every bead of sweat on the actors’ brows. The cost of making these TVs has fallen dramatically, and 4K video has arrived via streaming from Netflix, Amazon and others. Those extra pixels aren’t worthwhile on smaller TVs, but if you’re finally buying a big set, you’d be mistaken not to consider 4K.
How to get ready: By next fall, quality 4K TVs will be available for laughably low prices. (But since the tech is evolving fast, never ever buy last year’s model.) And for better color, keep an eye out for “quantum dot” technology.
