Re:Not for me... (Score 1)

Hi all: I'm a long time listener, first time poster. :) Alot of people seem justifiably wary about wearable computers being another digital 'leash', like pagers/cell phones are already. IMHO: I think there's a fundamental concept which has been ignored here: central to the concept of wearables is that it is within your personal space, and intended to empower users, not companies. Having a wearable shouldn't mean you're at the beck and call of your employer 24/7. My feeling is that that's just a leftover from a horribly corporate/profit centred view of computing and the internet we're being fed daily. What I would hope to see is an understanding that contacting someone via their wearable is like contacting them on the phone: most employers have their employee's home numbers, but won't call about work related stuff on weekends or holidays or sick days (though I admit, this view may be a bit out of date or naivete, but it seems fair to me - if this isn't the case, then you've already got the problem without the wearable). Besides - as long as you run a 'free' OS, just set yourself up to bounce emails from work on the weekends. Its your computer - NOT your employers!
