One morning this week I awoke in a cold sweat thinking,
Maintaining security during classroom exams (i.e., preventing cheating) is going to be a nightmare when Apple comes out with the iWatch1 this year.
You know those crazy, “random” thoughts that you often have upon waking up first thing in the morning — the ones that go away after being awake for more than five minutes, when your brain decides to start being sane?
Well, that one pretty much shows you where my mind is shifting as we enter the month of August.
FYI, the reality is already: “No phones or electronic devices in your pockets or on your person — put them in your bag and place all bags at the front of the room”. Pretty soon we will need to append: “and also remove all watches, glasses, contacts, and earrings.“ Blegh.2
Yeah… -_-
T-minus three weeks to opening day number eight.34
- Yes, I’m aware that we already have smart watches from the likes of Moto, LG, and Same-sung. But let’s be real: the proliferation of such devices is likely to explode sometime in the next few months. [↩]
- Incidentally, a coworker shared with me that in the 80’s — which I actually remember — the contraband du jour was calculator watches. So perhaps this is not an entirely new problem… [↩]
- After watching “Sharknado 2” last week, I thought briefly of calling this: “Season 8: The 8th One”… or “Season 8: The Ocho”, for ye “Dodgeball” fans. [↩]
- Oh, and if you don’t understand the title reference, go here. [↩]
