I don't know if it will or not, but I already feel sorry for people who seem unable to put down their cell phones, even on vacation or while they're exercising, and I will not be wearing a computer anytime soon.
Just call me a Luddite.

Subject: New TechWhirl Poll: Wearable Computers Changing Tech Comm? Vote and Comment
Hi Whirlers,
I want to let you know about our new poll question (I'd call it weekly, but
it's averaging bi-weekly, so for accuracy, it's just the "new poll
question"). There's a lot in the news right now about Google Glass, iWatch
and other wearable computers getting ready to hit the consumer marketplace.
Not so very long ago it was smart phones and tablets. Our question is
simple: Will wearable computers change tech comm? The follow-up is what
we'd really like to get to though. If it will fundamentally change what we
do and how we do it, what do you think those changes are? If not, why not?
Take the poll here: http://bit.ly/ZGTT10 <http://bit.ly/ZGTT10>, and feel
free to post a comment with the introductory article. Or, start a lively
debate here on the list. We'd like to use your thoughts and perspectives
as the basis of some future poll questions, and some possible feature
stories.
Looking forward to the conversation!
