Baar, A. (2013). Consumers Not Sold On Wearable Tech. Retrieved on September 28, 2013, from www.mediapost.com/publications/article/209024/consumers-not-sold-on-wearable-tech.html#axzz2gDaD10AP In this article, Baar attempts to ascertain whether or not consumers are sold on the idea of wearable technology. The two main points he was making was concerns about privacy and comfort level of potential wearers-he concludes there is some work to do on the marketing end of wearable technology; also the product has to be comfortable.

Retrieved on October 1, 2013, from http://search.proquest.com/docview/1433119548?accountid=14541 Originally published as a magazine in the Sep/Oct 2013 edition of the Technology Review, Cambridge, United States. In this magazine article, Norman describes the paradox of wearable technologies by discussing the benefits and negative side effects of current and future digital technologies. There is still much to discuss regarding the negative impacts of wearable technology.

Retrieved on October 1, 2013 from http://search.proquest.com/docview/1425865465?accountid=14541 Originally published as a scholarly journal in The Futurist, Vol. 47, Sep/Oct 2013, Washington, U.S. In this journal, Scott discusses the future of neurotechnology, which involves the human mind. Scott, as a futurist, focuses on the power of human thought and the ability to control digital objects, such as robots, avatars, etc. This discussion is vital to the wearable tech discussion because it focuses on “spanning the gap” between the human and digital worlds.

Williamson, K. (2013). 5 Ways technology has negatively affected families. Retrieved on October 2, 2013 from http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/family/5-ways-technology-has-negatively-affected-families.htm Williamson’s article demonstrates the obvious breakdown of familial norms that have held the nuclear family together for so long. The danger of technology is startlingly clear to parents: if not regulated, the child can grow up insulated, without exposure to the outdoors, and without care for other human beings. Too much dependence on technology is a bad thing.

The SixthSense technology takes the cell-phone screen and projects the GUI onto any surface. This could be where the next evolution of the GUI is headed. Yonck gives many examples and much technical language.
