I hope your wrong.

I do remember when I was a kid and I said that “someday everyone would have a computer in their home” and everyone thought I was crazy…

I do see the need for the wireless device – there are some fortune 1000 companies that are going that route and they are starting with top management, marketing, sales, and IT types. They want these people to be able to get to their email and phone calls wherever they are in the building or the road. In education there are now wireless hubs for phone and/or other handheld devices. In manufacturng they have been using it with the barcode scanners and now with wrist computers.

CMU, MIT, and Georgia Tech co-hosted the IEEE International Symposium on Wearables Computers in Cambridge, MA October 13-14, 1997. The symposium was a full academic conference with published proceedings and papers ranging from sensors and new hardware to new applications for wearable computers. There were 382 people registered for this event.

At MIT there is an annual fashion show and the wearables are well represented and some of it is way out there…

The list goes on. But the big complaint is the narrow band width.
