Wearable Technology: What's Next?

Today I'm going to talk at Churchill Club about wearable technology; what's next?

New consumer wearable technology is becoming the next big consumer electronics market including products such as fitness monitors, smart watches, Internet-connected eyeglasses, wearable cameras, helmets, apparel, baby monitors and more. What will it take for wearables to continue to capture consumer interest? According to the recently released Accenture Digital Consumer Tech Survey 2014, which polled consumers in six countries, at least 52 percent of consumers are interested in wearable technologies—and there is the potential for major investments that could go into growing this market. Join us as Robin Murdoch moderates this panel of top wearables experts about the key challenges and most promising opportunities ahead.

Small Things In Life. Food !

Second Sunday morning in Palo Alto. Desperate to eat, I hit university avenue. Come across Taxim, Istanbul street food. Oh gosh—do I really want bad falafel and wrongly named doner kebap (really gyro meat) this morning? I enter the store; greeted with this lovely lady. I start reading the menu—pogaca. Lahmacun, pide… I am panicked.. Until I see Turkish breakfast as a line item; and I lose myself and start ordering sucuklu pide, pogaca, menemen, Turkish breakfast w proper tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, cay, orange juice (ok not so Turkish). And they have SIMIT!!!! Bliss!!!!!

My gurbet sepeti at home is helpful and the best thing is my co-workers bought me a Turkish coffee maker from Amazon to greet me, oh with the full coffee from kahveci mehmet efendi and all..

I am afraid I have been struck with immigrant disease—I miss home!
