Wearable technology is evolving into an expanding set of tools that has the potential to positively impact how we live, work and play. Most brands of wearable tech adorn people’s wrists, but the Google version, powered by Android’s KitKat operating system, is worn on the head in a manner similar to eyeglasses.
