#Tomorrow's Wearable Tech Is Straight Out of'Star trek'A hearing aid that wirelessly streams audio from an MP3 PLAYER.
Wearables will perform many of the functions of today's personal computers. Systems such as Google glass have been experimenting with projecting a screen in front of the eye
which eliminates the need for a screen. For example new software and apps will allow users to look at the name of a restaurant or bar and instantly view reviews.
Communications technology will shift more toward wearable devices Shaddock predicts. Reminiscent of the VISOR worn by the character Geordi La Forge in Star trek:
The next Generation which restored his damaged vision by detecting electromagnetic signals and transmitting them to an implant in his brain wearables are being created to assist people who are disabled.
and unable to speak use computers to communicate. Of course some wearable-tech applications could be considered novelties.
So-called smile bracelets allow friends to send each other vibrations or smiles remotely. The applications of wearable technology are limited only by people's imaginations Shaddock said.
With more and more devices measuring personal data and uploading it to computer networks security is definitely a concern experts say.
but as the cost of computing goes down it gets easier to add more encryption.

#Apple's Health App Tracks Almost Everything, Except Periods Apple has released finally its much-anticipated health app
but some are asking why the app has no feature for tracking a woman's menstrual cycle.
The Healthkit app lets users track a slew of data about their bodies. The app can track
not only the usual suspects such as daily calories consumed and number of steps taken but also oodles of other health-related data including users'blood alcohol content body fat percentage respiratory rate and intake of sodium magnesium calcium fiber iodine
But the developers neglected to serve the segment of the population that menstruates the Verge reported.
Apps for monitoring menstrual cycle do exist. For instance Clue is an app available for iphones that lets users keep track of bleeding pain mood
and sexual activity over the course of the month so a woman can know if her period is regular
Another app called Period Tracker has similar features and can predict the start of the user's next period.
6 Apps That May Stimulate Your Love Life So why doesn't Apple's Healthkit have these features?
Perhaps the app lacks a menstrual tracker because Apple's employees are primarily male The Verge's Arielle Duhaime-Ross wrote.
The app Clue has developed already an update that could integrate with Apple's Healthkit if approved a Clue employee told The Verge.
