so true - but don't you think that it's only a matter of time? Some of the futuristic applications that we only imagine today are probably not that far away... but I think it is misguided to limit wearable focus to watches.
You know what's interesting, there's also the other side of the tech-products coin where they are designed with a certain lifespan in mind...'designed to fail' is too harsh, but certain products could be way more sustainable than they are.
In some ways, I can understand the nobility of an MVP mentality, because it's theoretically striving for more...but these others, I'm not so sure.
