SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 10 — Newly released survey results say US Millennials are open to incorporating wearable technology in their lives, with one in four even showing willingness to wear such devices during sex.
When it comes to dating and mating, 12 per cent of men and nine per cent of women said they would use wearable technology if it made them look more attractive to the opposite sex.
If using wearables could make them appear smarter, 12 per cent of men and eight per cent of women said they would do so.
As for the general, social acceptability of wearable trackers, 16 per cent of men said it was important to them that the device be acceptable, while only nine per cent of women responded the same way.
Nine per cent of respondents said they would wear a Google Glass headset on the first date.
Conducted over the Internet, the survey involved 1,007 US respondents in the “Millennial” generation, which is classified in this case as representing individuals born between 1977 and 1995.
The research is a joint effort between the Centre for Generational Kinetics and Wearables.com. — AFP-Relaxnews
