I found this on ZDNet:
I'm a cyborg now - and so are you
"For nearly a year now I've been wearing a smarter-than-average fitness wearable device. The Microsoft Band isn't a fully autonomous smartwatch, but it is a more than capable connected wristband. A haptic actuator in the band vibrates when messages arrive on my phone, letting me know that I can check them when I get to a rest area or a gas station.
"That buzz on my wrist was a new sense in action: it let me know that I was in a pool of modern civilization, connected to the wider world, no longer in the bubble of car and iPod audiobooks that was carrying me from San Jose to the far side of Utah. It was a new sense that was a harbinger of an interesting tomorrow."
