How might different people form their attitudes towards wearable technology?

What will be an ideal response?


The history of ‘wearable technology’, for many people, is rooted in the electronic tags that criminals have been made to wear since the early 1990s. The commercialisation of this has resulted in members of the public being able to buy products such as smart watches and fitness bands – applications that are far removed from what the technology was first used for. Of course there are some practical and some impractical applications of this technology.
