The Next Big Thing in Technology….Wearable Tech

3. ABOUTABOUT

4. Wearable technology refers to clothing and accessories incorporating
computer and advanced electronic technologies. The designs often
incorporate practical functions and features.
Through the history and development of wearable computing, pioneers
have attempted to enhance or extend the functionality of clothing, or to
create wearables as accessories able to provide users
with surveillance - the recording of an activity typically by way of small
wearable or portable personal technologies. Tracking information like
movement, steps and heart rate are all part of the quantified
self movement.

5. EARLY HISTORY

6. Wearable technology is related to both ubiquitous computing and the history and development of wearable
computers.
Wearables maketechnology pervasive by interweaving it into daily life.
One early piece of widely-adopted wearable technology was the calculator watch, introduced in the 1980s. In
2008, Ilya Friedman incorporated a hidden Bluetooth microphone into a pair of earrings. Around the same time,
the Spy Tie appeared, a "stylish neck tie with a hidden colour camera".

14. SURVEY

15. According to a 2014 study by Forbes, 71% of 16- to 24-year-
olds want wearable tech.
However, a study carried out in the UK in early 2015 among

wearable tech was "just a fad".
One out of five American adults have a wearable device
according to the 2014 PriceWaterhouseCoopers Wearable
Future Report. Smart watches are a second high-profile sector
and, while wearable devices have been around for years.
A study in 2014 by MSI and McAfee reported that 70% of
people think that wearable technologies will soon send health
vitals readings to physicians.
