Combined with social media, mobile wearable devices form a new generation of personalized technology that knows us better than our closest friends. How many of your friends know how far you walked or what you ate? The challenge for developing applications is correctly incorporating context to add value your users hadn’t considered while being sensitive to their privacy. In the future, our devices will wake us up earlier because of the ice storm last night and contact the people we are meeting to warn them we could be late. Philip Lew covers the most important element of mobile user experience and customer experience―context.
