What's The Buzz?

   It looks like a wristwatch, or a bracelet. But it's so much more than those. It is, in fact, the latest in personal communication devices. The "Tap Tap" bracelet lets two people privately communicate with each other without having to dial a phone number or send a text.
   What I've seen on this suggests simply tapping the device sends a vibration to another bracelet, thus "talking" with the other person. And apparently, people can come up with their own special code to communicate. One tap could mean I miss you, several in a row might mean "check your phone". There's no word if we'll have to go back to Morse Code:

      There's also no word on how you could have an argument with these things. Does it come with a dial to ramp up the intensity of the vibration to zap the other person if you get mad? That truly would be a slap on the wrist! And what signal are you sending the other person if you're accidentally mindlessly tapping on them?
   If you're interested, these things cost about $135 Canadian. And yes, you do need an app for your blue-tooth enabled Android phone to run it.
   Right now, I'm going to stay with my land-line and cell phones. If someone needs to talk or text, that's good enough for me.
