CE 1.5

1. The story about the pope meeting with Kim Davis, the woman that refused same sex marriage licenses, is a story in the newspaper because the first incident with refusing the licenses caused so much drama. To have another action performed by Kim Davis, especially one that rules against same sex marriage (the catholic religion doesn't support it), causes more suspicion on what she is planning to do from the information she gathered in the interview.

2. The Texas population support increased by 13% over the last 5 years.

3. Three key findings from the Lyceum poll: 1. One in 10 respondents said that immigration was the most important issue facing the country. 2. 72% of Texans want to encourage their kids to play football. 3. 9% of Texans said that they feel education is the most important issue facing Texas.

4. The poll is unique because it looked at the state's entire adult population rather than registered voters. It also surveyed a more diverse selection of the society.

5. Jordan Spieth performed a 1-under 69 that got him a four-shot victory in the Championship.

Short answer:

A wearable is a piece of technology that you wear on your body to perform certain functions. This has become something we're seeing more and more of because it's smaller, more integrated into our bodies, and big companies have been advertising it as the "Age of Wearable Gadgets". I think that the hearing aids to clothing with sensors to track sweat, etc. interests me the most. I do think that we'll see more of these in the future, with the advancement of technology and the need for better, portable, and unnoticeable gadgets. First the google glass, now wearable technology. I think these will be useful in certain situations, but I could never see myself actually putting on a Wearable. It would be a weird feeling to me, having a piece of technology literally attached to my body. I do think that this will become very popular in popular events and concerts/shows to where a "bulky" piece of technology isn't required anymore. I do think that if these Wearables are affordable and efficient, there will be those people that buy them and use them regularly.
