This three-way universal lock system uses wearable technology to keep your physical belongings and digital space protected. Currently seeking backers for their crowdfunding campaign on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/all-lock), innovation research group Atellani created a multi-user system that protects objects and files. Lock-Rs consists of a bracelet that acts as a [digital key, plus a padlock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-lock-technology).

Using Bluetooth, the [magnetic universal lock system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-fingerprint-padlock) connects to users' smartphones and knows when there is something nearby that the user might want locked or unlocked. There are no codes to remember, as small magnets within create unique combinations, offering minimal risk.

Perfect for young people, this device has the capacity to change the way youth share information online and on social media.
