Wearable Tech

A few years ago, "wearable technology" meant little more than a clunky 1980s calculator watch or a Bluetooth headset. Now, people are accessorizing with color-coordinated fitness trackers and super-spy-like smartwatches.

 According to ShotTracker, wearable tech is "the next megatrend"

 — changing the way we live, work, and play.

Consumers remain wary of wearable technology. Fewer people, even, expressed interest in owning headsets or glasses but this hasn't stopped the world from talking  about them though. The total number of tweets mentioning "wearable tech" in 2013 have skyrocketed since January, landing at almost 65,000 mentions in September — the same month Samsung unveiled its Galaxy Gear.

  A future full of wrist-worn fitness trackers, smartphone-connected watches, and futuristic Google Glasses appears to be on the horizon. By 2017, it is estimated that consumers will be clamoring for wearable devices, boosting shipments to a total 64 million — eight times more than the 8.3 million purchased last year.
