What happens after wearables-

on YouTube ↗24m

" summary

Argues that current wearables are the tip of the iceberg and predicts a sensor‑led ecosystem where data collectors (Fitbit sold 4.5 million units last quarter) and delivery devices (Glass‑style AR) merge, making experiences more useful and more invasive; cites Fitbit retention dropping after six months and Glass SDK limits on facial recognition as concrete signals. Calls for rapid experiments, platform thinking beyond Apple/Google, and a focus on purpose acceptance technology — clear use cases, social acceptance cycles, and sensors that don’t get in the way.
