The apps of interest for wearables is rarely about your body. Some health nuts might want it, but the majority of us would treat it like the excersize machine that is either a clothes holder or stored somewhere awkwardly. The wearable boon seems to be in further connecting people with information beyond us. Google glass is doing good work at trying to figure out what it is you need in front of your eye, and how to get at it quickly. In fact, they are trying to get some of that information into your view passively so you don't have to do anything but react. -- Steven Critchfield [email protected] -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
