On Second Thought, Maybe I Don’t

October 24, 2014 By Dan Rosenbaum

The Washington Post has a mercifully brief piece out of the recent Wearables + Things conference in Washington, D.C. At the inevitable fashion show, designer Ean Williams showed a bridal outfit that included Google Glass and a Fitbit concealed in a necklace. Nice necklace, actually.

We get that live-streaming a wedding might be a nice thing, although we have our doubts about a bridal POV. And something that will recognize faces and prompts us to remember Aunt Minnie whom we haven’t seen since we were 5 might be nice.

If you’re going to do this, though, why not go the whole nine yards and include a heart monitor compression underclothing to see how stressed the bride and groom are? Or there’s other stuff for afterwards.

But as much as we like this stuff, please. A sense of proportion.
