Introduction to Wearable Technology:

Wearable technology is the future. Examples of it are becoming more and more common in the modern world, and could very well be the next technological revolution. As technologies become smallr and smaller, wearable tech has a very bright future. The highly anticipated Google Glass and Apple iWatch are already being tested, and the former could be released by the end of this year. Eventually, this new revolution will take the spotlight from PCs and tablets. Watches that can send messages, glasses that allow you to do all things possible by Google, without even going on a computer or smartphone. All of these technologies are possible, and being made right now. Expect the future of wearable technology to be bright.

As this new innovation becomes more available, it will change how people look at freedom of taking their own paths. Will things such as Google Glass and the Apple iWatch really be controlled completely by the user? Or will the respective companies actually hold much of the power of how these devices are used?

Current Tech: __ Google Glass __ technological amazement. you could cCurrently, wearable technology is still in alpha state and very new to this world, where computers still dominate the technology industry. Google is experimenting with Google Glass currently. The people who made Google Glass says that the product will be coming out by the end of 2013, and even though they say that, they are hoping that they would be able to get it out in time, because they are still trying to figure out some things for Google Glass. They are still improving it as we speak.  google glass will be banned as soon as it comes out, due to the ability to record video. this enables the wearer to infringe copyright laws. Google glass is able to record video, take pictures, search things (like pictures, articles, and just gereral ideas) and do much more. with all of the socialization and ability, google glass is a onnect to google+ and send your friedns or family messages, and if you are far away from someone, you could talk to the via video through google glass.

__Sixth Sense Device__ For the Sixth Sense Device, they have many demos of how it works, and it seems like it works pretty well, but the people who created it do not know a specific date when the device should be released in stores, but what we know is that they have a couple of the devices that are made and ready to use, so if you want one you would have to have a connection to the people who made it. The creator of the Sixth Sense Device is man named Pranav Mistry, he stared with the idead of creating something so that you could interact from the computer world to the real world, kind of reachiing inside a computer and do what you could do inside a computer. The idea of having a sixth sense was though of being impossible, but this man was able to do it. It took him many years to create this device, he started with a old fasioned computer mouse, ripped out the chords inside the two mouses and connected them to a computer and his hands, and he was able to literally reach into the computer using colered finger taps.

__NetGen Norms __ Wearable technology allows us more of the freedom that we have been born into, it helps us to be able to choose what we want, how we want it, and when. With new Under Armor clothing that can cahange itself digitally being created, the level of customization avaliable will be trumendous, any color or shape clothing with digital clothes. with all of the expectations of technologies, people will scrutinize upcoming technologies to see if they are worth buying or try them out, the technologies really have to have a great impact, or a consistant stream of customers. there are obvious bad uses for google glass, you could record a concert, movie, song etc. and share it with others illegally. it would allow you to take pictures of people even if they dont want you to. there are good sides too, you can talk to peopl every far away and see them, google images, words, translate. wearable technology lets you know what time it is so you get to class on time, will allow us to search things like online textbooks. An amazing amount of speed is expected by almost all technologies. certain wearable technologies, like google glass will allow you to acess the internet, and talk to people far away faster. theeses wearable technologies allow us to talk to others no matter how far away, a prodject is much easier with theese technologies, old friends, far away family members, and work associates can be contacted. educational institutions will have to find a way to stop cheating and other improper uses of wearable technologies, and still enhance the learning experience. __Calculator Watch __ The Calculator watch was an idead that was just a thought. People thought it would be cool to have a calculator right on your wrist.

__Summary__ while simple wearable technologies such as the GoPro camera, watch-like devices to measure fitness, and a prototype Sixth Sense device. The GoPro cameras are currently in stores where you could buy them for a couple hundred dollars, Watch like devices had just became a very cool thing that people are starting to experiment with, the people making the watch are still coming up with new ideas and ways to improve the technology so that people will want to buy it.
