I feel like we are pushing this wearable tech thing too hard. Pushing all the cool ways we can put stuff into things (ordering pizza from your shoes, snapchatting from your glasses) but they ALWAYS boil down to "You can touch XYZ instead of your phone to pause your music". When we will get some decent applications, instead of enhancing the form
I think the basic problem there is that we have run out of things do to via mobile in general, at least outside of the corporate world. Frankly most of what people do on "smartphones" today that is not work related could be done on featurephones a decade or more ago.
This is kind of sad. Computers in general should let us do more stuff outside corporate world. That's pretty much the definition of empowering humans. But I guess it doesn't monetize well enough.
