I recently shot this for an editorial assignment. The photography is pretty straight forward, this one isn't about that. It's more that I suddenly realized how much our phones are doing and will be doing.
I'm typically an early adopter of Apple hardware: first mac was Powerbook 160, (that was System 6) had one of the first iPods, iPads and iPhones, but I pretty much use my phone to call people, play music and find places for the first time while driving, along with a few games for my son. I'm not a big App guy. But I thought this was pretty cool, it's a serious tool. You can now use your phone to take your blood pressure. The phone actually powers the device and if you need to keep track of your blood pressure it has a database of your history. I, thankfully, have normal blood pressure and pulse, so for me it's just another App I played with once. But seeing this brought it home to me that our phones really are turing into those tri-corders they had on Star Trek. I'm looking forward to Tea. Early Gray. Hot.
