a normal watch would do. Going further beyond that, it serves other functions including a timer, a Greenwich watch, a map, a flight reminder, a weather forecaster, a Passbook, a calendar, a scheduler, an alarm clock, a cell phone, a text messenger, a workout planner, and a MP3 player. The Apple Watch represents the actual every day life in an ideal way in terms of transforming a one task performing metal piece into a multi-tasking gadget, a digital device that is capable of performing almost all the functions of a cell phone, or even a laptop. However, it also distorts the actual everyday life by invalidating many one-task performing devices, such as a normal watch, a paper scheduler or a GPS. It also calls into question the existence of a traditional watch that fulfills its one and only function – telling the time. In both senses, the Apple Watch is both an invention and a dispute. It is closely tied to the contemporary culture because of the rapid speed at which our society is revolutionizing. We are now living in a time period of information and technology explosion, a time of turmoil of innovations. The desire for state-of-art technology has driven us to continuously look for the better and we will never be able to find the best. This contemporary culture of favoring technological innovations indeed has changed us and influenced how we see the revolution of such a small watch.
