...translucent plastic shell, but try telling that to the millions who have bought Apple's iMac. The academicians are also under-estimating the attraction of ultra-portability. In the public consciousness, wearables are the logical future - the destiny, if you like - of computing. Think of all those neat-o gadgets that populate sci-fi flicks and cartoons. The ones that grab the imagination are usually small, affixed to the wrist, the lapel or the belt - in other words, wearable. Or consider the now-ubiquitous Palm handheld computer.
