JIT_V4_N3_A1 Tom Page Journal on Information Technology 2277-5250 4 3 1 13 Wearable Technology, Barriers to Adoption This dissertation is an investigation into wearable technology. The aim is to discover why its adoption has been slow to date, if its adoption is likely to speed up, and what steps can be taken to aid its adoption by consumers. Through a literature review and interviews with consumers, evidence has been gathered that suggests that it's just a matter of time until wearables are widely adopted. However there are still improvements in design, which have been identified, that could be made to ease this adoption of wearable technology.
