Obviously Google and Apple are going to be offering much more than the time on their "wrist watches" but it remains to be seen whether a tablet-like device worn on your wrist catches on. When I was growing up, Dick Tracy looked cool but in 2013, you would probably look like a dork with that contraption on your wrist.
Hmmmm...well I still look at my wrist when I want to know what time it is.
Looks more and more like the world has been right past me. Sometimes I think maybe it’s time for me to check out.
the only time i would wear a watch these days is when i’m wearing a suit (which i don’t do as often since i’m not going to client site often). even then, the watch is meant to look good... not like a gizmo
the further for personal wear computing isn’t quite here yet.
i believe the further will start to arrive once contacts or glass are able to produce an image on our field of view without being seen (not the google glass thing, that’s too obvious).
with the display covered, audio would come from vibration via bone induction. this should allow for speakers and mic capability.
rings or a glove could be used for keyboard or mouse-like input.
and of course, these things would have to have the power to communicate with the main computing device, which would be tiny (stick of gum) and probably in a pocket. the power would be the main thing holding most of it back
if this existed, and no one noticed it while in use, it would be the future of wearable computing
