The wearable computing revolution was expected to draw in big players into the fray. Last week, tech players like Apple, Google, Samsung and Qualcomm that predicted to spotlight their aces at the last minute are massively missing the wearable devices’ movement!
Wearable computing adoption
Wearable computing will unfold a world of new gadgets, some of which are now in the development stages. Early adopters are people in the fitness and health niche, a market segment where many are willing to spend extensively for brand new gadgets.
Health wristwatch, bracelets and fitness bands monitor pulse rate, temperature and level of activity, time lapse, distance, and data all stored for measurement of changes. For some users, wearable self-monitoring gadgets are less complicated, and the data can be easily shared for medical diagnostic and fitness tracking.
Wearable computing new front-runners
Wearable computing technology will ultimately evolve into broader applications like personal information management with compatible artificial intelligence components and will appeal to a greater number of people, including the business sector. These new front-runners will overshadow early adopters in health and fitness niche.
The technology crystal ball shows us a future consisting of wearable devices integrated into clothing. The Sony Smart Bluetooth Handset SBH52 clip-on gadget has an FM radio and can be used as a phone as well as transmit and receive audio from any Bluetooth-enabled device.
Wearable computers
Future innovations in wearable computers will see them nicely sewn and worn into clothing, shoes, socks or hats. Manufacturers are now producing video clips to give us a glimpse into their own versions.
For technology pundits and market analysts alike, the week ended on a sour note. They’re wondering whether the wearable computing revolution has fizzled out.
UK’s Visiongain predicts that wearable devices represent a $4.6 billion market in 2013 alone.
ABI Research predicts that sports and health gadget markets alone will ship 170 million wearable devices by 2017.
Apple did release a gizmo, the iPhone 5s with the M7 coprocessor and motion sensor that would win the fitness and health tracker market. Still, they think that was a lackluster move for Apple, after it was rumored to be secretly developing a smartwatch. Obviously, the iPhone manufacturer was fending off threats to its flank by releasing the iPhone 5s rather than venture out into the uncertain wearable devices’ market.
Issues with wearable computing marketability
Here are some of the issues affecting the key measurements of the wearable computing marketability.
Social acceptability. Many individuals disdain wearing watches these days.
Fashion statement. Not too many people are keen about wearing Google glass.
Utility. There’s not much difference about what smartwatches can do that an iPhone can’t.
Convenience. Digging for the smartphone in your pocket is a breeze.
What’s making waves in the wearable computing movement now
As big tech players seem to be reluctantly holding off releases of wearable computing products, an upstart player is making a sizable splash in the market.
Pebble smartwatch became an unlikely tech device wonder and initially sold $4.3 in just a few days and another $1 million the following day before the product even reached the market shelves last year. It is still going strong today. The product has several variants that sell like hot cakes.
Ironically, Pebble smartwatch is the only smartwatch on the market that supports the number-one smartphone, iPhone, by Apple.

Hey, how’s it going?
Did you hear that the powers that run this world want to put a RFID microchip in our body? It will contain not only our bank accounts but our personal information, making us total slaves to the elite. This will cause us to lose even more of our privacy.
Did you know that this RFID microchip matches perfectly with the Mark of the Beast in the Bible, more specifically Revelation 13:16-18?
“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name…”
Referring to the last days, this could only be speaking of a cashless society, which we have yet to see, but are heading towards. Otherwise, we could still buy or sell without the mark amongst others if physical money was still currency. It’s amazing that the Bible foretold a cashless society!
Did you also hear that the Jewish people are in the process of bringing about the Third Temple prophesied in the Bible by the prophet Daniel, Jesus, and Apostle Paul? They deny Jesus as their Messiah and say their Messiah will be revealed to rule the whole world under a one world religion. They are not even hiding this information, but are actually promoting it. You can view videos about this on YouTube.
When Donald Trump made Jerusalem captial of Israel in late December 2017, the Jewish people said this was a big step for them to build this Third Temple. They even printed a Temple coin with president Trump’s face on the front with king Cyrus'(the man who built the Second Temple in the Bible) face behind him. On the back of the coin is an image of the Third Temple. They are selling these coins to raise money to build the Temple.
People have been saying for many years that the end is near, but we needed not only the Third Temple, but also the technology for there to be a cashless society for the Mark of the Beast to be a reality.
There is much more to know, please visit http://WWW.BIBLEFREEDOM.COM to see all the proof!
GOD BLESS, JESUS LOVES YOU!
