With major players such as Qualcomm rushing in to clear away the fad clouds, and in the aftermath of CES 2015, one is led to think that self-tracking using wearables is the next big thing, right? Think again. Wearables are nice, but have their share of inconveniences; we need to remember to wear them, they need to be frequently recharged, they may cramp up our style, and when too many are worn simultaneously, we end up looking more like a walking Christmas tree than a hip, cool techie.
