There are a lot of electronic devices that we can carry with
us when we go out of the house. The most obvious items here
will include smartphones, music players, phablets, tablets, and
laptops. But now there are new kinds of devices which we can
actually wear on our body, much the same way as we wear
clothing and jewellery. This kind of thing is the so-called
wearable technology. Although it dates back to the 1980s
when calculator watches became quite popular, it’s
development really speeded up in the 2000s when Bluetooth
technology came into common use.
B Vocabulary
The world’s leading manufacturers of electronic devices
quickly saw huge potential for the new market of wearable
technology. Indeed, they worked together with fashion houses
to popularise the idea that wearable technology is trendy. Soon
a number of events like fashion shows and competitions were
organised to promote wearable gadgets. At one such event,
the winner was a Bluetooth dress that lit up when the person
wearing it received a phone call. It seems that those kinds of
marketing campaigns have been very successful. According
to some survey, over 70% of young people aged 16 to 24
would like to have wearable devices.

Like most innovative ideas, wearable technology is not
without its critics. Some people believe that it is just going
to be a short-lived fashion, and view wearable gadgets as
a waste of money. However, others point out that wearable
devices have a number of useful functions, and may help
business people, sportspeople, and in fact also everybody else
to take care of their health. Here, they give the examples of
a lot of wearable gadgets being used to measure our heart rate
and, the burning of calories, and to even control the condition
of people who suffer from serious diseases.
