Wearable technology is definitely on the rise, but who would have thought that we would include bananas among it. Yes, you read that right. Bananas! Dole debuted this first edible wearable device at the Tokyo Marathon on February 22, 2015. It will measure a runner's heart rate and lap speed, tell when to eat and write motivational messages sent via Twitter. Where? On the shell. Bizarre? No, the Japanese.
Med wearable technology somehow, thanks to the Japanese, she broke through as well banana, which is also the only edible one. GPS, not a GMO banana, make no mistake, made its debut at the 2015 Tokyo Marathon, and since the visualization of all of the above using LED screen happening on the shell, users can sing it to their heart's content without fear of their stomachs shining at night.
Down, the world's largest producer and marketer of fresh fruit and vegetables, behind Bananas 2.0, is otherwise long-time sponsor of the marathon, which has been diligently stocking it with bananas for years. This time they will offer a new "variety", smart bananas. Admittedly, they will not have a greater effect in a physiological sense (they are not more nutritious than normal), but they will have a psychological effect (encouraging messages), but also physiological. Namely, they will monitor the runner's energy level and warn when they should be consumed so that it does not drop too low.

Banana will receive information via devices, which will be worn by the runner and will be connected to it via a cable. And how is it possible that the cover will glow like the wrists in the movie In Time? Bananas will be "operated on" (surgically) before sharing removing the shell). The goals will be placed in the bigger one the peel of another banana along with an LED display. More in the clip.
