| Wearable tech slow to catch on over the pond One in five Americans interested The number of Americans who are remotely interested in owning wearable technology devices – like watches, glasses and fitness tracking bracelets growing slower than many early predictions claimed. eMarketer predicts that sales will grow 12 percent next year which is not bad until you compare that to previous years and realise that figure means less than 20 percent of the population. In October 2015, eMarketer expected usage among US adults to grow more than 60 percent this year. But according to its latest forecast, it will only grow 24.7 percent, as smart watches in particular have failed to impress consumers. http://fudzilla.com/news/wearables/4...-over-the-pond |
