I have a smartwatch on preorder, Pebble to be precise. I have an automatic Rotary I got for my 21st, but I have to reset it every 2 days. Sad

Getting interesting, were I inside Apple or advising them I'd be pointing them towards implant technology as thats where computers are going. Literately your eyeballs being replaced and upgraded, safer and cheaper to augment an eyeball than a brain, audio through the bone.

External devices will be seen as the Wireless Radio of the 21st century on the current path.

With the new texting and driving laws coming into place I'm sure that these guys won't be far behind. Not that it will help you when a techno zombie stumbles into the road as your driving along.

Japan : motivated by the wish to keep the Yamato pure in the home isles to develop cutting edge robotics instead of opening immigration. Big smile

Also, one must watch for the techno zombie that will step in front of your car. Over the past 5 years pedestrians hit by cars has risen for the first time in decades. Mostly due to increases in alcohol consumption and distraction by audio/visual technologies.

Interesting how William Gibson just thought this up in 1983 while writing a novel on a manual typewriter.

That someone can earn money by selling it doesn't means that it should be manufactured or sold.

As far as I am concerned, it should be legal to use a baseball bat on anyone using Google Glass in your vicinity without your consent.

As if the loudly spoken magical incantation "Super power Google Glass activate! Shape of a photo camera! Engage!" would not be warning enough...

I prefer the simplicity of social pressure in the form of a blunt object. Twisted

Actually, there's both cheaper, and more covert methods to take pictures of people with wearable devices. You can get a much more covert wearable camera for $60. The existence of Glass doesn't enable perverts any more than they were before, and wearing Glass does not make one a pervert either.

I'm really glad you don't make laws. Like really glad. I have no damage resistance to baseball bats. (Though I admit, I'd be in favor of the ability to use a baseball bat on anyone wearing "low-riding" pants.)

not really wearable related, but I find it (not so) "amusing" that cars are getting more high tech intergration as well.
More sensors to show whats going on around you, when you are veering out of your lane and stuff. Sounds good? Not really, ask any motor cyclist how good most car drivers are paying attention to whats happening around them. Crap like this only makes that worse as theye dont "have to pay attention anymore".


Also, the goverment commercials about not using social media while driving(what, I'm not allowed to phone when driving? I'll just update my facebook status then to "lol, nearly hit a kid when driving my car just now. Lucky this time") wich is promptly followed by a car commercial thats promoting that car that has social media intergration in its satnav....
