My name is Guy Levesque. I am a 54 year-old Director of Oriental Antiquities with Sotheby’s. I live in Paris, or rather, I should say that my family lives in Paris. I spend a third of my time there, a third in London and a third traveling, usually in Asia. Although I have an office in Paris, my principal office is in London, where Sotheby’s headquarters is located. My personal assistant is also based there. Though we sometimes don’t see each other for days at a time, we stay closely connected through our wearable computing system. It is a very advanced version that allows other users to interact with the system, further enhancing the communications possibilities. I have been using wearable computing technology for almost three years. At the beginning there were problems. The elements were cumbersome, not always reliable and quite expensive. But just as with computers, those issues have been resolved at a fantastic pace. Today, systems are nearly invisible and achieve a level of sophistication and design quality that make them a pleasure to use, even a symbol of status. For me, the significance of wearables is their seamless integration into my wardrobe, lifestyle and business world. In the past, technologies only made me more accessible, which could sometimes be annoying, frankly. With wearables, I am much more in control of my network. It’s like having my assistant with me all the time.
