One of the longest-running tech columns on the web, Android & Chill is your Saturday chat for Android, Google, and all things tech.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I’ve been in a wheelchair for about 20 years, and now I’m a full-time person. I am also interested in staying healthy so that I can live long enough to be a responsibility to my children. Like most people, I use a smartwatch as a wearable fitness tracker.<\/p>\n
