NgoLwesihlanu oluzayo ngoJuni 26 the I-Apple Watch Iyaqhubeka nokuthengiswa egagasini lesibili lamazwe kubandakanya iSpain, i-Italy noma iMexico. Kuze kube manje, cishe konke okubhaliwe kulungile, ngaphandle kokugxekwa kokuqala. UVanessa Friedman, uMqondisi Wezemfashini kwa I-New York Times Kodwa-ke, uthathe isinqumo sokugqashula iwashi lakhe le-apula futhi uchaze ukuthi kungani esihlokweni esilandelayo, engikuqinisekisa ukuthi, akunadoti, umbono ohlukile wakho konke esesikufundile kuze kube manje futhi kumuntu oseke wazama iwashi.
Bengifuna ukuthi isebenze. Ngangifuna ukuthandana, njengoba kwenza nabangane bami abaningi. "Thatha isikhashana," basho. Ungalindeli ukuthatheka. Ake kwakhiwe ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
Ngakho ngikwenzile. Wayazi ukuthi abanye abantu babheka ngomona lokho ayenakho. Kodwa-ke, inyanga nohhafu ngemuva kokuhlangana kwethu okokuqala, nginqume ukuthi sekuyisikhathi sokuthi, siyiqede.
Ngihlukana ne I-Apple Watch. Ubudlelwano babungekho, naphezu kwakho konke ebengikulindele, ebengikudinga. Konke ukunakwa kweSan Francisco ne-Apple emisha enkulu elandelayo ngalelo sonto (ukusakaza!) Kungenze ngabona ukuthi besingekho ekhasini elifanayo.
Noma kunjalo, angisoze ngazisola ngamasonto esiwachitha ndawonye lapho ngifunda amaqiniso abalulekile ngami.
Njengesibonelo, ukuthi angifuni kuchazwa ngesihloko sengxoxo esihlakaleni sami.
Kunesizathu sokuthi ngiphathe isikhwama esifanayo (akukho logo) nomaphi lapho ngiya khona, isizathu sokuthi iwashi lami le- pre-Apple alinayo imisindo noma ama-chimes. i-tourbillon; isizathu esisodwa sokuthi ngithambekele ezingutsheni ezingabonakali ngesizini noma ngomklami futhi ezingafakwanga kunoma yisiphi isikhangiso engisibonile.
Ngichitha isikhathi esiningi emhlabeni lapho imikhiqizo iwuphawu lwabantu, futhi ngazi kahle kakhulu ubungozi bokuhlotshaniswa nale semiology (yize ngiyibona ngokugcwele isifiso sami sokuyihlanganisa nabanye).
Kepha lapho ngiqala ukusebenzisa i- I-Apple Watch (imodeli engu-38 millimeter neqembu leMilanesse Loop, okuyisayizi encane kunazo zonke enesongo lensimbi elingenalutho eliguquguqukayo), yaba yisihloko sengxoxo noma ngabe ikuphi: emihlanganweni yomsebenzi, esitolo samakhekhe, ezemidlalo zomntanami. Kube njalo kuyo yonke indawo, kumenyezelwe kubantu abaningi, ukuthi bekungangabazeki.
Okokuqala, wonke umuntu wayefuna ukuzwa kuye. Ngakho-ke bebefuna ukukuzama. Bese benza ukucabanga okuthile ngami.
Okungukuthi, uma ngikhuluma iqiniso, bengingayenza kunoma yimuphi owesifazane onjengami ehambahamba nebhokisi elikhulu elimnyama engalweni yakhe.
Ngoba noma ngabe uthandeka kanjani I-Apple Watch Uma kuqhathaniswa namanye ama-smartwatches noma ama-smartbands, noma ngabe kusengaphambili ubuhle bezingqimba zawo eziyindilinga nokubonisa okungunxande, kusabukeka njengegajethi. Ikakhulukazi othile, onjengami, onezihlakala ezincane.
Akukhona nje ukuthi umgogodla wayo ubumboza kahle bonke ububanzi bengalo yami, isihenqo sayo sesimanjemanje sesimanje ochwepheshe abaningi abasincomile - iMickey, uvemvane noma umthala (okuyiyona enginayo) noma amabhande esihlakala-mbumbulu (i lezo, ikakhulukazi, ezihlala zikhona kuzo zonke izithombe zewashi (kanye nalezo ezenza ibukeke njengewashi) - ibuye ibe kumodi yokonga amandla isikhathi esiningi.
Njalo lapho ngimbona, ngifuna ukumemeza, "Ngithumele ngefoni, Scotty."
Hhayi ukuthi kungizuzise kakhulu. Uma sicindezelwe, isithombe asiveli. Ngisho nalapho ngihambisa ingalo yami ngamandla emuva naphambili, imvamisa kuthatha imizamo eminingi ngaphambi kokuvela koMhlaba. Indawo ezenzakalelayo ayinalutho.
Njengesikhundla sami esizenzakalelayo uma kukhulunywa ngokufunda i-imeyili noma umbhalo oyisihloko esikrinini esincane, kufaka phakathi ukuphakamisa isihlakala sami ukuze usondele ezingeni leso - noma, uma ngithola ucingo futhi ucingo lwami lungasebenzi, kufanele ngikhulume umoya. Uma unezingane zakho noma abantu ojwayelene nabo bezokubona, cishe kuyisimemo sokuhlekwa usulu.
Kungani kuhlazeka kakhulu kunokuhlala ubheke ifoni? Abangane bami bangitshele lapho ngikhononda.

Umbuzo ovumelekile, kepha ngemuva kokucabanga okuthile ngicabanga ukuthi impendulo ilula: uphatha ifoni ngesandla sakho, futhi sijwayele ukubona abantu abafunda okuthile ezandleni zabo. Njengesibonelo, izincwadi. Kepha ukubona umuntu ebuka isihlakala sakho (noma ukubheka nje eceleni) kudlulisa okunye ngokuphelele: (1) ukuba luhlaza noma (2) ukuba yi-geek.
Lokhu kubonakala kungabakhathazi ababhali bezobuchwepheshe obuphezulu, iningi labo elibhalile ngokubhala ukubuyekeza okuhle ngegajethi, ikakhulukazi ngokuya ngokuthi ingakwenzela ini. Futhi ihlakaniphe ngokweqile kune-Google Glass, yize ngingaqiniseki ukuthi kuningi.
Vele, konke lokhu kungenzeka kungacaci ngokubaluleka uma iwashi liguqula impilo yami ngokweqiniso, njenge-iPhone yami. Kepha angikaze ngibe nenkinga yokusuka kuma-imeyili ami lapho kufanele ngigxile kokunye - impela, ngiziqeqeshele ukwenza i-compartmentalize - ngakho-ke ngidinga izexwayiso ezithile kulokho okubalulekile.
Futhi isikrini esincane sincane kakhulu ukuthi singafundwa ngempela, ngakho-ke bengicasuke kakhulu kunokujabula lapho ngixwayisa ngemibhalo evela kwabathandekayo bami; kwathi lapho ebona isihloko esikhulu, konke ayefuna ukukwenza ukuthola yonke indaba.
Futhi, imisebenzi ejwayelekile yokubuka izinhlelo zokusebenza engayifaka esikhundleni - ukunikezela ngamaphasi okugibela amabhanoyi, ukuvula iminyango yegumbi lehhotela - kubonakala kufana nenqubekela phambili kunokulahlekelwa ukulawula. Ngibize ngeLuddite, kodwa ngokuthembeka, anginankinga nokuvula ngezandla zami zangempela. Uhlelo olusha lokusebenza olumenyezelwe kuleli sonto lungenza umehluko, kepha anginasiqiniseko sokuthi nginesineke sokulinda.
Ngokufanayo (futhi ngiyazi ukuthi lokhu kuzoba yimbuka kunoma ngubani ojabule kakhulu nge-IPO ezayo yeFitbit), izinhlelo zokusebenza zokuqina - ukulandelela izinyathelo zami, ukukala ukushaya kwenhliziyo yami, ungitshele ukuthi ngivuke lapho ngiphakathi kwendatshana - kubonakala sengathi umthwalo omkhulu kunokukhululwa.
Ngisebenze kanzima ukuqeda imishini yokuzivocavoca engitshela ukuthi ngisebenze kanzima kangakanani - mangaki amakhalori engiwashisile, izitebhisi ezingaki engikhuphukile - ngokwengxenye ngoba bengazi ukuthi bengikopela isikhathi esiningi vele, ngakho-ke angikwazi ngiyithembe imiphumela, futhi ngokwengxenye ngoba kube izaba zokuguqula, noma cha, indlela yami yokuziphatha elandelayo.
Kepha iqiniso ukuthi ngiyazi lapho ngisesimweni; Ngiyawubona umehluko emzimbeni wami futhi ngiwuzwe lapho ngigibela ibhayisikili lami epaki. Iwashi Usongele ngokungidonsela emuva ku-neurosis yezinombolo, futhi leso yisilingo engingathanda ukungasitholi. (Futhi, nginabangani abaningi ababheka imitha yomsebenzi wabo phakathi kwengxoxo, bese beqa ngokushesha baqale ukuhamba ngokuzikhandla, ukuzizwa sengathi kuyasebenza ngempela empilweni yabo.)
Ngangilithanda iqiniso lokuthi ngangithulisa ifoni yami, futhi iwashi lalinyakaza lapho, ngokwesibonelo, izingane zami zifona futhi kwakudingeka ngilubambe. Kepha ekugcineni lokho bekunganele.
Lapho ngitshela osebenza naye ngokuhlukana, wabona ukuthi mhlawumbe ngangingeyona inhlobo yakhe. I-Apple Watch. Lokho kufanele ngiqiniseke ukuthi ngithi kuSiri esihlakaleni sami, "Akusuwe, yimina." Kungenzeka uqinisile.
Ngaphandle kokuthi angicabangi kanjalo, futhi hhayi ngoba ukuphikisana kuvame ukuheha. Uma kungenjalo ngoba empeleni ngicabanga ukuthi ngingumuntu edalelwe yona: ongeyena u-techie ongenawo amagajethi amaningi (ifoni, i-iPad, ilaptop), kepha ongayengwa ekuthengeni komunye ngenxa ye- lula kwayo.
Yileyondlela Apple Kwandisa isabelo semakethe futhi kungokwaso isigaba, ngemuva kwakho konke: ngokuheha labo abangayena umlutha we-Apple. Kungakho inkampani isebenze kanzima ukusondela embonini yezemfashini.
Kepha nansi into: iwashi empeleni alisiyona into esekelwa yimfashini yetekhi. Kuyinto isesekeli sobuchwepheshe esenzelwe ukuba isesekeli semfashini. Ngangivele ngingamthandi.
