Jeff Gamet and Chuck Joiner continue their discussion of wearables on The Mac Show on The British Tech Network, turning to smart glasses and smart clothes. Issues that crop up include power usage and privacy concerns over potentially intimate tracking, privacy, and data collection. They touch on the past Apple-Nike collaboration, and debate the accuracy of step counts in wearables. Other possible issues include kinetic charging, extra batter power, and more. (Part 2)
