Will wearables replace smartphones and computers?

A small bracelet can analyze a person's daily steps, sleep level, and even sex. Smart wearable devices are gradually maturing and seem to be more accurate than medical devices in monitoring human health. How did wearable devices develop? Can it replace human organs?　First, how did wearables develop?　Wearables were first born for cheating in casinos back in the 1960s and 1970s, when the first wearable devices were invented to increase the odds of winning at the tables.　In 1961, Edward Thorp, a math professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, mentioned in the second edition of his gambling guide, Beat the Dealer, that he invented a wearable computer that was successful in cheating at roulette, giving the wearer a 44% advantage. 1961 Wearable computers Since then, wearables have not evolved rapidly.　In the 1980s, calculator watches became popular. The Pulsar, the world's first wrist calculator, was officially released in late 1975 and became popular immediately.In 1981, Steve Mann, still a high school student, attached a 6502 computer to a backpack with a steel frame to control photographic gear. The device's display was a viewfinder attached to a helmet, and Mann contributed greatly to the development of wearable devices.1972 Wearable Cheats At the time, wearable device technology, while advanced, was not a necessity for consumers.　Sci-fi movies played a role in the development of wearable devices.1984 The movie The Terminator was shown, in which a layer of computer interface was added to the images of the real world seen by the robot, a device that was somewhat similar to the current concept of Google Glass.1975 Watch Calculator In 1987, the first digital hearing aids were introduced, but due to the bulky nature of their design, these devices did not achieve commercial success. In 1994, Steve Mann, who invented the computer backpack, created a wearable camera that allowed images to be uploaded to the Internet. 2000, the first Bluetooth headset was invented. 2002, the Xybernaut Poma wearable PC was introduced, which was like wearing a tape recorder on your head. 1981, the backpack computer. Backpack computers In 2003, the world's first fully digital pacemaker, the Vitatron C-Series, was introduced, a device that allowed doctors to download a patient's information in less than 18 seconds In 2006, Nike and Apple launched Nike+iPod, a sports kit that allowed users to synchronize their workouts to their iPods. Nike then launched several models of apparel with iPod-specific pockets. 2009 saw the release of the WW200 wearable computer by Glacier Computers, which was designed to provide users with access to a wealth of information in the event of an emergency and was waterproof.　In 2013, Google Glass was released, which can be controlled through voice recognition and a touchpad on the side. Google Glass is an optical head-mounted display that is fixed to glasses and is controlled by voice and can access the internet with WIFI. Samsung invented the smartwatch, which can be connected to an Android phone using Bluetooth. Japanese automaker Nissan releases the Nismo smartwatch, which provides drivers with information such as average speed, gas mileage and driver heart rate. It retails for $120. (1984 Terminator Language) Misfit launches Shine, an underwater physical activity monitor. 2014 saw rumors swirl about the Apple iWatch, a possible smartwatch capable of accessing the Internet via WiFi.　Secondly, what innovations have wearables had in terms of technology?　From a technical point of view, the development of wearable devices is faster than the development of the mobile tide, low-cost sensors and chips, so that many small companies focusing on technology can also design and produce complex wearable devices, the application of wearable devices, do not need to rely on a reliable mobile Internet service, as in the case of smart phones. Just a simple Bluetooth connection or other protocols to communicate with a smartphone is all that is needed to enable wearable device innovation.　The goal that wearables are trying to achieve is to enable users to quickly understand their devices and quickly deal with their fast-paced lives.Sonny Vu, the CEO of Misfit (a wearables manufacturer), designed wearables with the additional goal of making wearables either look good or be invisible.1994 WIRELESS WEB CAMERAS The increasing functionality of wearables allows for the convenience of solving the little problems in people's lives, and to some extent, changing the need for people to have access to their own body parts. Wearable displays on the head, the role of the naked eye appears to be minimal, will detect the pulse of the device worn on the body, ignoring the body's five organs itself complex self-conditioning function ...... Third, wearable devices to exercise the function of organs?　Wearable devices instead of organs to exercise their functions, perhaps not a bad thing. The use of wearable devices instead of organs may better help us cope with the body's diseases.　For example, wearable devices play an important contribution in solving hearing problems. Its first generation was the hearing aid, which amplified sound through linear amplification. With the development of hearing aids, it was found that simple hearing aids could not solve the problem of hearing loss in different situations, so the second generation of digital hearing aids with DSP chips appeared, which could make the hearing aids amplify the sound non-linearly according to the frequency, which was more suitable for the user. 1987 Digital hearing aids The third generation of hearing aids recognized noise through sound simulation data models, and judged the scene through the smartphone location The hearing aid sound processing program automatically switches between processing programs for different scenarios.　The fourth generation of hearing aids combined with cellular telephones are hearing aids that use 2.4Ghz Bluetooth connectivity.　The fifth generation of hearing aids, combining chips, power supplies, speech processing programs, and microphones, attempts to provide more services to users with severe hearing loss. In the future, this technology is expected to replace the ear.　What other organs can smart devices replace? Artificial eyes? Artificial hearts? The possibilities are endless ...... but more importantly, it will be a true combination of "needs", "technology", "interdisciplinary integration". "The real combination.
