Wearable Technology: A model of technology that can be integrated into our lives.

The upcoming release of the iWatch has me thinking about wearable tech and its application in education.  Wearable tech has been around for a while.  Think about digital watches and Nintendo's Power glove.  What makes wearable tech popular in today's market is how it works well with fitness.  Wearable tech helps people live a healthy and efficient lifestyle.  Having a watch that can tell us how many miles we have run or our vitals can keep us accountable to our health.  The biggest highlight about wearable tech compared to mobile tech is that wearable tech adapts to our basic human tendencies.  We don't have to adjust ourselves tot the tech, instead the tech adjusts to us.  Wearable tech can give us information rapidly and keep us informed wherever we are.  Wearable tech is also great for communication.  The problem with wearable tech is finding the balance between rapid transfer of information and privacy.  Setting for wearable tech need to be placed and enforced to ensure that privacy is not violated.  Below is a video of wearable tech being innovated to suit our needs.
