Smart watches and wearables can be the next big thing?

Being an inventor in telematics, I wonder from time to time if what technologistas  believe could be the NEXT BIG thing comes true all the time. Maybe or maybe not.

I can say personal computing has evolved from desktop, laptop, palmtop to dashtop in terms of form factors.  Palmtop in the form of cell phones and smartphones,  and dashtop in the form of navigation, or in-vehicle infotainment equipment.

Wearables have been a buzzword in personal computing  for a couple of years. And now some people do not hesitate to say smart watches are the next big thing.

Wearable devices may be worn  in or around different parts of a human body, like ears, eyes, fingertips, wrists and so on. Not just wearable but implanted or embedded is what has been there for some time. The thing is whether  commercialization has been made enough to reach consumers in general. Have wearables  hit the critical mass already or been losing steam destined to be a thing of here today gone tomorrow?
