" ------------------------------------- Wearable Computers Big Hit With Users Who Do Not Fear Outdoors December 14th, 2000 Portable wireless computer technology has been evolving constantly and for years analysts have been predicting a boom in the speculative "wearable computer" market. While the technology has been viable for several years, it was not until recently that the industry shifted its marketing from the realm of home computer users to outdoor laborers and enthusiasts. "It was a difficult decision," explained Gordon Meyer, CEO of CompuWear. "The micro-electronics business has spent decades catering to white collar needs and it was hard to break that pattern of development. Then we realized that a large percentage of home computer users are afraid to step outside their house unless necessary and those that did were leery that the wearable computers might create a conversation piece, forcing them into unwanted social interaction." CompuWear has experienced great success in the past six months selling units to maintenance workers, salesmen, explorers, lumberjacks and Vikings. "We totally redirected our marketing energies and it paid off big," continued Meyer. "The maintenance workers were a hard sell because they were afraid the units might impede their effectiveness. We gave ten units to a New York Power and Light company to test in the field and only three electrocution deaths were caused. I think we'll be selling a lot more. The Vikings were a much easier sell. Now they can use our wearables to access a database on best sites to pillage when they are out on the move. If they have pillaged a site already, they can update the database with their information so other Vikings don't waste their time trying to pillage an already pillaged location." "These be great," commented Viking Bjorn Hiergaard. "I am making to chop with my axe and reading the Boston Globe online at same time. My Band of warriors is often far away from homeland of Boston and wishes to know of news and sports when we are out pillaging. I will be happy to journey to CompuWear headquarters and ransack for more of wearable computer machines. For the glory of Odin!" Prostitutes are also getting in on the action, drawing on the mobility of the wearables for their "on the go" lifestyle.
