1. A system comprising:

  • a wearable device connected to and operable and configurable by a user; and

    a smart media in remote communication with the wearable device, the wearable device being automatically and selectively operable to detect a certain context associated with the user or being unable to detect a certain context without assistance and further operable to transmit the same to the smart media, the smart media thereafter assuming the detected certain context to be accurate when the wearable device detects the certain context associated with the user and based on the certain context, the smart media being operable to execute a first application or when the wearable device is unable to detect the certain context associated with the user without assistance, the smart media being configured to determine the certain context associated with the user, based on information transmitted by the wearable device, the smart media further configured to transmit the identified certain context to the wearable device and upon the wearable device communicating the same to the smart media, the smart media thereafter assuming the detected certain context to be accurate, the wearable device through direct communication with the first application and through execution of the first application, being configured to communicate the certain context to the smart media and the smart media being operable to automatically access a second application related to the communicated certain context, wherein the smart media is operable to selectively detect the certain context based on remote communication between the smart media and the wearable device and an activity of the user, the wearable device assuming the detected and communicated certain context to be accurate and based on the detected and communicated certain context, the first application being operable to automatically access the second application, the second application being independent of the first application in that the second application is unaware of a presence of the wearable device.
