Are Wearable what's next?

Smartphones are the current big seller, with one and five people in the world owning one. But are wearable the new craze? Wearable are devices that you wear, things like watches, glasses, fitness trackers and even some stranger things like clothes and tattoo with sensors and even indigestible pills that pass through your body. Big companies are investing in the less wackier types though. Google released their tests for Google glasses, and many companies are working on kinds of watches. Now people most people don’t know but the wearable are not made to replace your other gadgets, but are instead a way to collect data or do other things and relay back to the main device. While I believe they are a long way off, wearable the next step. Imagine if all you notifications were pushing to your watch or glasses. Instead of having to pull out your phone you could use your watch to quick send texts or view emails. You could check everything just as you would check your time. It could do many things to simply make things better and easier in your life. You could go into a store and have everything would be sent to your glasses. You just talk into your watch and just call someone or make a note. The first uses would be health uses, it could measure your heartbeats, you could use it as pedometer or use it to help with workouts. The biggest confirmed product is the Samsung gear 2, which slimmed down its build from last product. The problems that are predicted though is Samsung refuses to link it with smartphones but their own products. This means you have buy a smart watch to match your smartphone which would limit the market by quite a bit. Many companies are predicting that while its a big market and a pausable branch in the industry it will have a lot of failures to start out with. I believe that wearable are not going to be in style this year or maybe next year, but when the hardware catches up, it will definitely be a type of product that will become popular.
