" First Apple turned us into a bunch of anti-social zombies, living our lives with our heads buried in our iPhones. Now Apple is going the other direction and resurrecting that most social of all gestures: the flesh-on-flesh greeting. Fist bumps, hand shakes, high fives, even hugs may soon become a new way to share information via wearables like the Apple Watch. According to Patently Apple, the company is currently testing a new feature that would allow people to transfer files on their watches with a simple &amp;quot;greeting event,&amp;quot; i.e. a fist bump or a hand shake. Essentially, the two devices would detect each other courtesy of Bluetooth or NFC proximity censors. Then they&amp;#039;d be able to transfer data when prompted by a specific greeting gesture. More than just sending data, though, it would also be able to figure out what type of data to send. Like say, for instance, you&amp;#039;re at work and your boss approaches. The watch would know where you are courtesy of GPS, and, given a previous interaction with your bosses watch, would know that it&amp;#039;s him who just walked up. All you&amp;#039;d have to do to transfer a file, then, is shake his hand. Or hug him if you happen to have a super creepy working relationship.   The device will also be able to send certain information based on specific gestures\u2014like a fist bump for financial reports or a bow for last night&amp;#039;s party photos. And while the Apple Watch is the most natural fit for such a feature, according to the patent, the system will also apparently work for other wearables including jewelry, eyewear, scarves, belts, and even shoes. Which all sounds like a great idea, although if one isn&amp;#039;t careful, sporting events and guys nights out could become grotesque events in data overload. Apart from that, fist bumping your way to more information sounds like a bright new future.  [H/T Business Insider] "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
