in/am/am: updating status symbols
My previous idea of a google watch brings me to a larger topic: updated (wearable) status symbols. So I think of other objects that are communicating, which skills we have.
The cosmopolitan watch
As globalisation becomes true, it is important to be a cosmopolitain. This skill can be measured by the number of different countries you have visited or how often you are travelling. It is also kind of a new status symbol, so it should be intergrated in an old one. I think about a watch with a small counter similar to the date counter. When you have to change the time of the watch (because you arrived in another time zone) the counter increases by one.
(Alternative: A suitcase with a lcd instead of the stickers, which show where it has been?)
