In a discussion last week, I suggested that things I was excited about included wearables. Sure enough, someone asked if I’d written anything about it, and I haven’t, much. So here are some initial thoughts.
I admit I was not a Google Glass ‘Explorer’ (and now the program has ended). While tempted to experiment, I tend not to spend money until I see how the device is really going to make me more productive. For instance, when the iPad was first announced, I didn’t want one. Between the time it was announced and it was available, however, I figured out how I’d use it produce, not just consume. I got one the first day it came out. By the same rationale, I got a Palm Pilot pretty early on, and it made me much more effective. I haven’t gotten a wrist health band, on the other hand, though I don’t think they’re bad ideas, just not what I need.
