Ah plastic wristbands. You are familiar with those small loops of colorful material that wrap your wrist during events and give you the feeling of being part of a special club. You can wear these wristbands to any event, be it a concert where you are surrounded by bass music or a conference with ideas flying as fast as free pens.

Here’s how they went from zero, to hero. Initial, these bands only served to inform people of who they could and couldn’t enter. This was pretty simple. What a difference the years have made! Basically, they’re Swiss Army knives for the wrist. It’s not only a show, they are smart.

Imagine the following: Instead of carrying around cash or tickets, you can use your wristband to gain entry into a festival. Would you like to purchase a tee-shirt? It’s as simple as tapping on your wrist. It works like magic except it doesn’t use a wand.

A cool new twist on wristbands involves customization. One size does not fit all. Make a statement. Neon colors? Check. Glow-in-the-dark? Double-check. Your band’s volume can be set to whatever level you desire.

What’s that? This band’s greenness is increasing by the hour. Mother Earth has given us the finger for our previous plastic sins. Now, organizers of events are upping their recycling game. The wristband you wear won’t hug a turtle, so now it is possible to party guilt-free.

But let’s get back to feeling special. Who wouldn’t? The moment you wear that band, you will no longer be just Joe Schmo. Instead, you will become a proud member of your tribe. The psychology of belonging is very powerful.

But, there are no heroes without their dragons. Or, in this case counterfeits and security concerns. You can’t ignore the fight against fake music. Not to worry. They keep them at bay using holograms as well as secret codes.

All attendees deserve to be included in the celebrations without being inconvenienced.

If we look into a crystal ball, or use common sense (or both), these bands seem to be getting more and more smart. Imagine entering an event with your band and they not only let you in, but help you engage with the other attendees or interact with installation without you lifting a single finger.

The story is short. Who wants to read a long one? Since their humble beginnings plastic wristbands can be seen as having come a far way. Today, they are a combination of a stylish fashion accessory and an essential gadget for any event.

If you ever find yourself at an event with one of the bad boys, don’t forget to thank it for its hard work. We are experiencing gatherings in a new way. This wristband is tiny enough to be worn on the wrist. But its impact will blow you away! This isn’t an alarmist approach – this is just good old-fashioned common sense wrapped with tech-savvy expertise.

Who knows. Perhaps one day, with only our wits on the job and some clever passwords, we will tell how we did it. Stay safe while you explore the wild west that is the internet.
