"This book examines the positive and negative ramifications of emerging wearable devices and their potential threats to individuals, as well as organizations, highlighting socio-ethical issues, policy implementation, and appropriate usage"--
Contributors in computer and information sciences discuss positive and negative aspects of emerging wearable technology both conceptually and empirically, along with the implications for society, commerce, government, and individual citizens. Managing the security, privacy, and socio-ethical issues arising from wearable technologies is not simply a technical task, they say, but requires policies at both the organizational and government levels, and genuine societal reflection and debate on ethical norms and appropriate wearable usage.
