My father actually predicted that these would come next. He “invented” the calculator watch years and years ago, and even bought one when they came out - too big and clunky, but it worked. So he predicted that watches and jewelry would someday contain all our data and communication needs. Memory and technology are small enough now to do that. But its the human-to-computer interface that he neglected to take into account, I think. He assumed we would use these wearable devices to contain everything we needed, and these would then connect to other human-shaped interfaces as we needed them. Who would have thought back then that we would “need” to be in constant communication with cell phones, PDAs and smart phones!
