Tomorrow's computers will be worn, not carried!

The clothing (and accessories) of the future will undoubtedly be electronically integrated with wi-fi and other wireless connectivity, as an ultimate approach to provide a ready means for communications, entertainment, business, and other 'constant connectedness'. How will we deal with the pace? Is there such a thing as "too connected"?

YEah, I agree..there is even a cell phone/watch now. Being too connected is dangerous too, since people can easily stalk you and know every little thing about you. it's quite scary how advanced technology is now, and how fast they produce new and better (more hi-tech) products..

Yep...and it's only just begun. Keep an eye out for the "electronic collars" or "wi-fi shirt pockets", and earring, necklace, watch, ring, and other jewelry-turned-electronic gadgetry. I just hope they do the research into how people will be affected by all the EMF and other waves we're all being beamed with all the time. Thanks.

People even say now that cell phones can cause cancer... what happens then when we wear those electronic stuff all the time. Human life span may become shorter and shorter then.

Yeah...it's a little scary, huh? But, like so many things, if the new technology becomes "necessary" or even "can't-live-without-them" (i.e., cell-phones, computers, et al), people will take their chances, just like we do even now with a host of things, including some of our food (with "toxic" artificial ingredients), consumer products (with "toxic" chemicals), and much more.

I think they'll eventually want to implant something into our brain so when we want to do something all we have to do is think it and we'll see it behind our eye or something.

Yes...I'm thinking the same thing. I just hope they don't use such things for "mind-control"...it's already bad enough. lol Thanks for your input.

Hi w1, With the fast paced race of miniaturization, your vision is sure to become a reality. Being too connected may have its drawbacks, what with the intrusion to our privacy, but it is only possible if we are not too careful with the different gadgets we carry on our person. However, being traceable can have its advantages too, especially during emergencies on remote places, that is, if someone is willing to take the risk of rescuing you.

Yeah...privacy is surely an issue, although I think we're long past having very much of that left now, anyway. Sad, but true, I think. And, to your point, being traceable can have a plus side. Thanks for the input.
