devices weren’t being stored in our purses or pockets - they were worn on our wrists, plugged into our ears and in some cases, embedded in our clothes and shoes. Innovations like this are one reason why Intel views wearable technology as the new frontier of computing. The level of intimacy of wearable technology opens up a world of transformative experiences that is different from a smartphone.

It has been more than a century since Frederick Jackson Turner first read his paper “The Significance of the Frontier in American History” before an audience of some two hundred historians assembled in Chicago for the “World’s Columbian Exposition.” Yet, Turner’s essay remains the classic expression of the “frontier thesis.” Turner was mostly ignored at the time but eventually Turner's lectures gained such wide distribution and influence that a contemporary scholar has called it "the single…

They can access all the information and entertainment they could want from a single device; however, while technological developments might seem beneficial to the younger generations, there are several negative consequences of children using them, like…

Before Frederick Turner’s essay “The Significance of the Frontier in American History”, the section begins with how influential the essay is and a bit of history about it.
