IBM, Nokia, Philips, Motorola, and many others are coming out with wearables. InfoCharms fashion shows are one way for us to use ingenuity instead of television advertising to be able to break through the 'freedom of the press - as long as you own the press' barriers. We haven't raised any outside funding, and have broken even in our first two quarters on sponsorships for the fashion shows. We have no sales or marketing people in the company, and are committed to open source software. If we get marginalized by a large company, then there will be that much less choice, innovation, and incentive for innovative applications of open source developers. As one who has lived in India and seen people die in front of my eyes, I have developed a deep commitment to bringing the Internet to the whole world, including the poorest. Only 3% of the world's population has access to the Internet. Wearables, produced in sufficient quantity, and with a few peripherals like solar powered battery rechargers, are more appropriate for people who don't have electrical outlets, or the money to have a different system at home, work, and in the car. If the wealthy countries will pay extra for fashion (and they do, as Nokia has proven), then the developing world can be subsidized. These are my motivations for doing wearables shows. What are yours in trashing them?
