You’ve probably seen this on your own Facebook news feed. I see it every few minutes now if I’m scrolling. But it sure makes me think:
 
“IF we (Islanders) had only seen the last big emergency coming in time and could have done some digging before we were all brutally bamboozled.”
 
Maybe that’s the reason I got to thinking maybe it’s time to get serious about tracking emergencies.
 
It speaks to me this ad, or it started to after the 50th time I saw it, I guess would be more accurate.
 
I meet the qualifications. Check, check, check. Hard not to proceed to the next step realizing that…
 
I’m over 60.
I live in Prince Edward Island.
I like “smart” things as opposed to stupid things.
And yes, if truth be told, I do worry about falls.
 
Every year a sickening feeling begins to stir in my gut around early August and grows stronger and stronger over the next couple of weeks. By the time Old Home week hits, all I can really think about is: “Summer’s over! AND I just know another FALL IS COMING!”
 
But the one they really nailed with this ad, and finally got my attention with, was their claim to address being “anxious” that another medical emergency should spring upon me without warning, or more accurately, another irrational DECLARATION of a medical emergency, still…powerful in its phoniness in taking away my rights and freedoms.
 
Those powerful, private people proclaiming pandemics have already named the next one, so it’s coming. “Can’t say they didn’t warn us. They’ve done their planning…named it virus “X”…. all to keep us guessing “when” with that unknown “X” Factor !
 
Having a watch to tell me “when” so I wouldn’t have to wonder would be wise.
 
So I don’t know, I’m torn. I don’t trust BigTech anymore than I trust BigPharma.
 
But I must say I’m a sucker for free stuff!
I’m just a tad worried about all the hacking and the tracking and .. don’t like being tracked, or hacked.
 
Wait a minute!  Crap!
 
Turns out, it’s not free after all! Always with the smaller print eh? Apparently I have to sign up for a plan. (Sigh)
I was going to ask for advice in the comments. But there’s no need.
No Smartwatch for Kevvy.
