Wearable Computer Assisted Leggings Measure Muscle Fatigue

Future Wearables: Intelligent Leggings Measure Muscle Fatigue in Runners. I hate to keep beating a dead horse; but, all you wearable deniers had better face facts. Wearable computing devices are here, and they are about to take over. If you have any sort of medical condition, expect computer assisted monitoring to be built into your clothing. If you are an athlete, or a wannabe athlete, expect that you will be able to measure all sorts of things with wearable clothing. This device will measure muscle fatigue in legs while walking, running or other exercise. Get over it.

For the life of me, I cannot think of a single reason to wear a wearable computing device as an article of clothing.
As far as a smartwatch is concerned, everything on it is too small to read without my reading glasses.
Talking to my wrist is a no go too. Dick Tracy I am not. I will just stick the roach in my ear.
I really, really, really, do not want to know about my heartbeat, blood pressure, and insulin levels and all of the other "health" indicators on a moment to moment basis. IF, and I really mean IF, at some point there is an actual medical reason to monitor me minute by minute, second by second, I will most likely grudgingly comply.
I can see carting around an extra battery in a coat pocket, but I cannot see putting said battery into a wired vest, coat, pants so I can attach it to some device in need of charging.
I like the idea of a sunglasses style heads up display. Light weight, portable, and kills off the need for monitors on a desk. Not sure I want to walk around like that. Too many things to kill me, like the truck I would walk out in front of. You know, kinda like texting and walking? or driving?
I will stick with my phone in a holster attached to my waist, and unlike you, it has a a removable battery. But a nice, light, portable inductive charger would be nice.
How is your recovery going? You feeling ok now? Glad you got thru it ok. I like reading your stuff. Pat the birds on the noggin and tell them they are good birds, my wolfhounds send slobbery licks.
