Wearable Mobile Devices Becoming the Rage
Published at
Apple(NEW YORK) — You are what you wear, particularly if what you’re sporting are digital devices that have become more commonplace in everyday life.
Cisco’s Visual Networking Index report says that so-called “wearable devices” are destined to be worn by 578 million people by the year 2019.
That’s about 18 times more than the number of people who are strapping on smart watches, cameras and fitness trackers today.
Meanwhile, nearly seven in 10 people on Earth will own a mobile device user by 2019, which, according to Cisco, means they’re growing at a rate of four times faster than the world’s population.
Smartphones will continue to lead way as they’ll account for 40 percent of all mobile devices over the next five years.
