Well... For me anyway forgetting a mobile phone on a desk would be a much
bigger issue than forgetting my watch.. Who cares if you forget your watch,
there's clocks all over the place.

(First person to bring up public phones in a smart comment should consider
him/herself kicked in the behind. :-))

Yes, and 'liberated' once you get used to it... (Hm, sounds like a comment in
a support group for nude recreation.. ;-))

All TV will be streaming one day.

Well, the screen may (need to) be too big to comfortably wear on your wrist.
So it needs something fancy for screen (foldable, projection, etc.) more than
anything else.

I hope not! I can't see it happening too. It's going digital, over the air,
on cable and satellite, which is fine. But not net-based, not exclusively
anyway.
