Pipe 37Q Wearable computing: boom or bust?

Wearable computing: boom or bust?

by
in mobile on (#37Q)
Is wearable tech the next big thing? Or is it already a has-been? Either way, it's the hot topic of 2014.

Blame Google, whose Google Glass eyewear got everyone excited about something newer and trendier than an expensive smart phone (and made at least some people into instant glassholes ). Or blame Samsung's Galaxy Gear watch , the Pebble , and the Nike Fuelband . It's easy to believe wearable computing is the next wave of tech innovation . But if so, we're not quite there yet, judging by reviews of current products. In fact, some pundits believe innovation is already beginning to run out of steam .

Wearable tech is being attacked from all angles. While the techies wonder if Google Glass can pass the ACID test , everyone else is just having enormous amounts of fun parodying what a family full of wearable computer users might actually look like .
