Re: Yet Another Article Predicting the Demise of Watches

I always find these articles interesting in their assumption that telling the time is one of the main reasons for wearing a watch!

: Here's another article -- in The Huffington Post -- suggesting
: that we are approaching the point in history when there will be
: no wristwatches --

While wristwatches are certainly still a style statement
: and/or status symbol for many, they've increasingly been
: replaced by cellphones, laptops, and other gadgets, which tell
: time and eliminate the need for an extra accessory. A survey by
: Beloit College of its class of 2014 found, "Few incoming
: freshmen know how to write in cursive or have ever worn a
: wristwatch."

: OK, we can put this in the stack with all the other articles
: making this same prediction. At least the format of this
: presentation is interesting.
