Perhaps the best way to predict how society will react to so-called wearable computing devices is to read the Dr. Seuss children’s story “The Butter Battle Book.”The book, which was published in 1984, is about two cultures at odds.

As the story progresses, their different views lead to an arms race and potentially an all-out war.
