Awareness devices available now

Our survey resulted in some validations of the hypotheses and some challenges as well. One of our hypotheses which got well documented was the "alert" state of mind, or awareness general attitude, including the stress that was generated in this process. SMS and  phonevibration close to the skin were 2 indicators of this new mode of existence of connected beings. The fact that companies are now delivering smartwatches directly connected to the phone but displaying only notifications of various kinds is a very significant step towards the dismantling of the phone as a device (as we announced in the image which is used as our logo) and towards the "extension of the domain of awareness" which requires a special design (vibrations and short displays as a basic pattern for alert).
