Do you wear a bracelet – is it
a Golden one or made of some other metal ? ~ wearing them on arms start perhaps
from the hospital bed as identification tag… to the stunning jewelry pieces….. made
of Gold, other metals, to the modern day metal, leather, cloth, plastic, wood,
shells, and more………. In religion, also
bracelets have some significance – in Temples
Many of us do display our emotions and
become emotionally charged when something pleasant or unpleasant happens. Emotion is the complex psychophysiological
experience of an individual's state of mind as interacting with biochemical
(internal) and environmental (external) influences. In humans, emotion
fundamentally involves "physiological arousal, expressive behaviors, and
conscious experience." Emotion is associated with mood, temperament,
personality, disposition, and motivation.
Psychologically, we look to external
sources for some support and kappu or bracelets are one of the means from which
mankind derives solace. In most
religious places, you could see – ‘black and red strings’ being purchased and
worn as ‘bracelets’ or around the neck to ward off evil. In Sanskrit, it is
called "drishti dosha" meaning malice caused by Evil eye. Throughout the World, the wearing of charms as a form of amulet/ talisman to ward off evil spirits or bad luck is
prevalent. Then came the charm bracelets
in various forms believed to bring good luck and personal things to the wearer….
If you are associating to something
happening in rural India ,
you need to know of Pandora A/S, a global jewelry company founded in Denmark
Moving away from the power balance, there
is news of iBracelet that can tell you when
you've got an email from your boyfriend (or when your favourite celeb sends a
new Tweet). It is a bracelet of
technology – one that pairs with mobile
phones as it controlled via an application – just like the ‘Attention Indicator’
that you have on Lotus Notes by which you can customize the background and text
colours of people [you like or your bosses or those whom you consider extremely
important], this iband can be programmed to display different colours for
different people and would display alerts based on tweets and Facebook alerts.
Daily Mail of 4th Mar 2013
carried an interesting report on this. It
may not be quite as sophisticated as the rumoured iWatch, but a new £30
bracelet aims to tell you when your wife is calling, or when your favourite
celebrity has tweeted. The Embrace+ connects via
Bluetooth to an iPhone or Android handset, and can be programmed to flash with
different colours when a particular person emails, tweets or sends a Facebook
message. Its inventors claim it is perfect for those who can't bear to put
their phone in their pocket.
The bracelet, called Embrace+ is set to to on sale later this year - and
owners can assign friends colours so they always know who is calling or
emailing - even if their phone is in their pocket. The bracelet uses Bluetooth to communicate
with a mobile phone, and is set up using a special app. Its makers claims
almost any colour can be displayed from the 'colour wheel' in the accompanying
app. 'Embrace+ is for those who have a busy
lifestyle, and want to stay connected with their smartphones,' the firm says.
Many are impatient and keep checking
their smartphones for e-mails, tweets and updates, especially from their
beloved ones…….. it could be matter of laugh and a comic sight for others to
see from outside – but factually many are addicted to this. You can observe
that some driving on a 2 wheeler, when forced to stop due to signal, would
instantaneously take out their mobile and check for message / e-mail. A Company has decided to cash on this bringing
up a solution – that of a ibracelet ~ one that can
display almost any colour, with each being assigned to a person or action via a
special app for Android and iOS devices. The makers say that the bracelet will last for
10 days on a single charge, and is expected to show around 100 alerts a day to
the average user. The design, available in three shapes, is based on a
gemstone.
Its makers claim that each design comes
in 3 different sizes that fits both men and women at any age. The battery of embrace+ can be recharged
through the cable that comes along; it is stated that charging time for a full
charged battery via laptop is only 10minutes.
It is claimed to be waterproof so that it can be worn under the shower,
when it rains and even in a swimming pool.
So what are you waiting for………. Buy
and know that you have e-mail waiting, immaterial whether you read all the
e-mails that you receive and when you respond to any of them.
