What does the future hold for wearables?Will wearables replace smartphones in the coming future??Well,I dont know about you but to me wearables will never replace smartphones because they always work in cahoots most of the time and its very difficult to pull a huge smartphone consumer base to unknown (the wearable technology).
Last night as i was in my ritual internet adventure,i came across a report on how consumers dump their wearables after 6 months use.With that kind of attitude do you think the wearables will replace the smartphones?(chuckles) .But why are consumers(wearables consumers) dumping their wearables after 6 months shy of use?Well,i tend to think that the only reason is that the consumers raise eyebrows over the amount of privacy breach by the wearables.Do you know that wearables can collect anonymous amount of your data and to make it worse this data can be harvested and sold?This reminds me of the samsung smart tv voice recognition feature that allegedly spy (eavesdroops)on you and whatever happens to the illegally harvested data only samsung knows plus the speech-to-text conversion company.
Weaables like Google Glass can harvest lots of data.Who would want a device that breaches your privacy?I think that's why most wearables get dropped after 6 months of use.Talking of getting dropped,Did you read about the brain-altering wearable that tweaks and torques your mood on demand?This is crazy.I mean who'd allow some wearable to electrocute their neural system in the name of tweaking your mood.Who got the guts though?
However,on the brighter side,Wearables are the holy grail in the health care system.Though,not enforced in many health care systems worldwide,Wearables are the next game changer in the health world.Like for example,the H2 wearables that monitors your blood pressure in real time (20s).The smartband is paired with an online dashboard for managing the data it captures.Now this is a win win scenario for both physicians and patients.This device assists the patient take care of his or her wealth and she or he can manage it at the comfort of her or his house.Now one screaming thing about this device is that it monitors your activity.Kinda privacy invasion but what do i know?
Will wearables replace smartphones?NO.Will wearables game change the health care system.OH YES !!But only if leaders in the country understand the impact of the wearables like H2 in the health care system and do the neccesary.
