Giacomo Curti

Wearable technology is a category of device that is named very literally. As that name suggests, it’s a term used to describe technological devices that you physically wear on your body instead of carrying with you. This can include a “smart watch” that exists on your wrist like a traditional wrist watch, for example This can also include a pair of glasses with LED screens that you wear on your face, similar to the way you would a regular pair of eyeglasses or sunglasses.

In order to be truly considered a piece of wearable technology, a device needs to be incorporated into items of clothing, accessories or other elements that can be comfortably worn on the body instead of carried.

In the world of electronics and technology, companies and developers are constantly on the lookout for “the next big thing.” In the early 1990s that “thing” was the laptop computer, which gave users the ability to suddenly be productive while on the go. In 2007, Apple single handedly transformed that “next big thing” into the smartphone – a device that could fit in the palm of your hand that offered more power than the equipment that NASA used to put men on the moon in the 1960s. Many industry analysts and professionals predicted that the current “next big thing” will be even smaller and more versatile than the iPhone and similar devices – wearable technology.
