After exploring sustainable fashion I wanted to see what else is out there other than the usual, and have discovered wearable technology! I must say that this is very exciting! Being a fan of SyFy, and beholding anything futuristic well, I love the idea of wearable technology going mainstream! Can you see yourself going to the department store or boutique and picking up a tee that has embedded into the fabric technology that can and will change your life?
Imagine if you didn't need to have your cellphone in your hand but rather the clothing that you wear will be able to do all the things that your cellphone does....you can say out loud, "Call Amanda" and suddenly Amanda is on the line for you to talk to! Or "Do a Google search" and suddenly you're able to have the information you seek right in front of you? Well hold on a moment curvy divas, I don't know if that is all possible yet, but can you imagine if that were so?!

Well hopefully we won't be like cyborgs!lol! However, I love her idea of "integrating technology into the fabric of our lives"...! Her idea is to make the wearable technology clothing beautiful to ensure consumers will want them! Looking at this clothing below, I agree!
Her second tip was in making the technology peripheral, wearable on other body parts, as in the top above, not just on our wrists or face. Lastly, she suggests making the technology meaningful, that is, not just like a tracker as in when we workout and keeping tracks of our calories etc., but one that will interact with us telling us what to do such as reminding us to workout, what a novel idea!
Wearable technology is the future and hopefully it will be wanted and in demand by us, the consumers! I have a feeling that it will be!

"it’s all about making a powerful gadget that we can bolt onto our bodies without considering the new aspects of what it means to wear, rather than carry, something. And if we are not careful, we will be on our way to becoming cyborgs: bolting gadgets onto our bodies will distract, disrupt, and disengage us from others"
