Wearables are carrying things
Wearables are actually small portable devices that you can wear on your clothes, your arm or anywhere else. Sometimes the wrist revolution is also spoken because many wearables are worn around the wrist (we are talking about a smartwatch, think of the Peble). After the breakthrough of the smartphone, the wearable or smartwatch is the next breakthrough. Often it is a device that is connected to your smartphone and thus shows information. It's about (SMS) messages, the weather, your heartbeat, how fast you run, etc. Most wearable devices are concerned with fitness/health tracking (Fitbit, Jawbone, Nike +) and are actually just motion sensors (nicely packaged with a nice app). The trend now goes more towards information provision (weather forecast, your next calendar appointment, etc.)
