Science fiction movies usually bring ideas which are far, far away from the state-of-the-art technology of the time, but the expression ‘reality overcomes fiction’ is a phrase that often repeats itself—and with increasing frequency.
It is not clear if science fiction writers and directors are visionaries, or if they are inside the mind of the inspired scientists developing future technologies. The important thing is that today, a lot of that fantastic technology is part of our daily lives.
One example of this is wearable technology, which is related to all electronic devices including a wearable processor or computer that the user can take everywhere and who interacts continuously with it.
The wearable has to be linked with the body, it has to talk to your body; it also has to be adapted, designed and modelled with materials close to the body. In this sense, wearable technology is the next step between the fusion of humankind and the microprocessor.
