Although the successes of wearable tech are far more discussed than the failures and its impact is further reaching than ever, it remains essential to consider the pros and cons of wearable technology for citizens.

CONS OF
WEARABLE
TECHNOLOGY

2. WEARABLE TECH
One out of six consumers in the U.S. currently owns and uses
wearable technology, according to multiple sources. Whether its a
watch that allows them to make a phone call or a bracelet that
tracks your calories burned, Americans are all in when it comes to
technology of the future.
Although the successes of wearable tech are far more discussed
than the failures and its impact is further reaching than ever, it
remains essential to consider the pros and cons of wearable
technology for citizens.

3. PROS:
You can easily monitor your
progress of exercise without
giving it any attention. Other
wearable technologies take the
convenience even further, such
as the Apple Watch allows users
to check messages and keep
themselves informed with a
glance at their watch.
Rackspace and Goldsmiths
released a survey finding
wearable tech increased
productivity by 8.5% and job
satisfaction by 3.5%.
Combining wearable tech with
certain applications could
improve a variety of businesses
processes.
As we get busier and busier
as a society, improvements to
wearable tech allow us to do
more than ever before. In
specific enterprise settings,
such as manufacturing and
oil and gas companies, hands-
on products are very
profitable.
CONVENIENT USEFUL HANDS-FREE

4. CONS:
The cheapest version of the
Apple Watch costs around $350
and the current Fitbits go from
$100 to $250 depending on the
features included. The expense
of the tech is immediately called
to question by the longevity of
the products.
One of the biggest critical
critiques of wearable tech is
the accuracy of its data. There
needs more development in the
accuracy of each's
physiological measurements, as
well as better positioning for
sensors to analyze data.
Manufacturers are currently
researching ways to extend
battery life, while also looking
for a natural charging solution.
It seems that the answer to
these issues will be wireless
charging, which can hopefully
lead to actual waterproof
technology.
