Magnetic fields provide a new way to communicate wirelessly

I have a phone and a smartwatch on right now. I could also see some kind of mini-wearable like a pendant or bracelet or cufflink that could change colors for priority notifications or other user defined events. Heck, I could see something built, tastefully, into the frames of my glasses as well.

As long as its convenient, useful, and easy to use, people will be on board.

As a side note, I stopped wearing my Moto 360 for a week due to being too lazy to unpack my charger from a recent trip. I was driven half-crazy by having to pull out my phone all the time for basic notifications or to check the time. Once people get a taste of wearables they'll love them.

Further, that smartphone has nearly a billion transistors. By that metric, we will see wearable electronics grow geometrically.
