Wearing Computing's Next Wave?

[Rich Tate]

We’ve been talking about wearable technology for years, it appears that it might actually becoming closer to reality.

That was the predominant vision at a conference on "wearable computing" held this week in Boston, where researchers showed off prototypes and discussed ideas.

The way it looks now, all of the technologies will merge into one device within five years or so....computer, music, videos, phone, GPS, etc will be incorporated into a device small enough to stick in your shirt pocket and be totally wireless as the technology becomes widespread. Dick Tracy had it right 50 years ago

Whats that point if we'll just get arrested at an airport for wearing them...
