Speak of the Devil: Message 16501751 < Wearable Computers: By 2007, more than 60 percent of the U.S. population age 15 to 50 will carry or wear a wireless computing and communications device at least six hours a day. "Widespread adoption of wireless, wearable computing will provide constantly connected employees and consumers with access to communities, information, and other services as they go about their business in the real world," said Fenn. "The prevalence of 'wearables' will lead to commerce and service opportunities as significant as those resulting from the wired Web." And by 2009, 70 percent of the U.S. population will have these devices implanted and carry them around always (and use inductive rechargers built into beds and chairs). Now, that would be a prediction, but the actual Gartner guess is hardly much of a look into the future. I thought we were pretty much already at their predicted numbers. > Mq
