Wearable technology includes fitness bands, Google Glass, Apple Watch, and other products which are reaching a tipping point in terms of sales growth. These technologies have witnessed different stages of development and there are unlimited possibilities. For example, technology research firm IDC predicts that annual sales will reach 113 million units by 2018, up from 6 million units in 2013. Glass at Work, a new program from Google, is designed to encourage adoption of Google Glass in hospitals, construction, and other workplaces where employees work with their hands. These technologies will change the way global marketing will be done in the near future.
