     Là hiệu trưởng và một giáo viên, những ngày của tôi vô cùng bận rộn. Tôi thường không có thời gian để kiểm tra tin nhắn trên điện thoại hoặc máy tính của tôi trong ngày vì hiếm khi có một thời điểm miễn phí trong ngày làm việc của tôi. Điều này thường dẫn đến các tin nhắn email, cuộc gọi điện thoại hoặc tin nhắn văn bản quan trọng của tôi bị mất tích từ các thành viên trong gia đình hoặc cha mẹ của học sinh.

     Tôi thường xuyên không cảm thấy ù điện thoại trong túi, hoặc nếu tôi vô cùng bận rộn, tôi không thể kéo nó ra để xem lý do cảnh báo. Tôi rất thích khả năng có cảnh báo ngay trên cổ tay của mình để lướt qua thật nhanh. Điều này sẽ giúp tôi, ngay cả trong những phần bận rộn nhất trong ngày, để nhanh chóng biết nếu có một tin nhắn quan trọng hoặc gọi điện thoại mà tôi cần phải tham dự.

Sẽ tuyệt vời như thế nào khi có thể sắp xếp email và các tin nhắn khác bằng cách nhấn nhanh nút trên iWatch khi họ đến vào ban ngày? Tôi tưởng tượng iWatch ù với một email đến và sau đó cung cấp các nút để nhanh chóng lưu trữ, xóa hoặc gửi thư đến một thư mục cụ thể.
