Computerised You

How Wearable Technology Will Turn Us into Computers

By: Shane Richmond

Narrated by: Kaleo Griffith

From the fitness-tracking Nike Fuelband to the head-mounted computer Google Glass, wearable technology is turning our bodies into the new frontier of computing. In Computerised You, Shane Richmond considers how wearable technology could help us to lead healthier lives and make us more efficient, examines the threat to our privacy and the danger of addiction, and looks to a future of computer-augmented clothing and brain implants that challenge our notions of what it means to be human.

interesting

Interesting and somewhat inspiring, but the speculative nature brings it more into the realm of science fiction, than science.

interesting and concise

Really makes you think about where we are at and where we are going as a technological species.

Good audio book

Love it, gave great details of events to support the Book title. I would read again.

Highlights of the Future

The Information of the equipment is good in this book. As a person who is obsessed with the Cyberpunk genre and technology. This Title informed me on some things and made me nervous of what is to come. Not Human or. Computer just you. I watched Robocop this past Friday. I’m looking forward to this again

Lots of speculation with little useful information

Lots of speculation with little useful information. The only useful piece of information in here is that Google has developed Google Glass. The author just rambles on about speculative issues without having any real deep knowledge about the subject. Anyone who has little knowledge about AI wearables could do the same thing.
