(1) Wearable gadgets like smart watches and Google Glass can seem like a fad that has all the durability of CB radios or Duran Duran, but they’re important early signs of a new era of technology that will drive investment and innovation for years.
(2) Tech companies are pushing out waves of wearable technology products—all of them clumsy and none of them yet really catching on. Samsung is excitedly hawking its Galaxy Gear smart watch, and Google, Apple, Qualcomm (高通公司), and others are expected to come out with competing versions. Google Glass gets lots of gee-whiz attention, and every other day, someone new introduces a fitness tracker, a GPS kid-monitoring bracelet, or—yeah, seriously—interactive underwear.
(3) These are all part of a powerful trend: Over the past 40 years, digital technology has consistently moved from far away to close to us.
(4) Go back long enough, and computers the size of Buicks stayed in the back rooms of big companies. Most people never touched them. By the late 1970s, technology started moving to office desks—first as terminals connected to those hidden computers, and then as early personal computers.
(5) The next stage: We wanted digital technology in our homes, so we bought desktop PCs. A "portable" computer in the mid-1980s, like the first Compaq, was the size of a carry-on suitcase and about as easy to lug as John Goodman. But by the 1990s, laptops got better and smaller, for the first time liberating digital technology from a place and attaching it more to a person.
(6) Now we want our technology with us all the time. This era of the smartphone and tablet began with the iPhone in 2007. The "with us" era is accelerating even now: IBM announced that it’s making its powerful Watson computing—the technology that beat humans on Jeopardy! —available in the cloud, so it can be accessed by consumers on a smart device. In technology’s inexorable march from far away to close to us, and now with us, there are only three places left for it to go: on us, all around us, and then in us.
(7) " Wearable is the next paradigm shift," says Philippe Kahn, who invented the camera phone and today is developing innards for wearable tech. " We are going to see a lot of innovation in wearable in the next seven years, by 2020. "
(8) Hard to know which products will catch on. Glasses are an obvious way to wear a screen, but most people don’t want to look like a tech geek (极客). The masses might get interested if Google Glass can be invisibly built into hot-looking frames. A start-up called Telepathy is developing a slim arm that holds a microprojector that shoots images back to your eye. Another concept is to build a device with a tiny projector that suspends text or images out in front of you, like a heads-up display.
According to the passage, which of the following statements is INCORRECT?
选项
A、Wearable products are warmly welcomed by customers.
B、Wearable products are signals of a new technology era.
C、Samsung has launched its wearable gadget.
D、Wearable products are clumsy at this stage.
答案
A
解析
细节题。文章第二段第一句提到,技术公司正在兴起一股可穿戴产品的浪潮,这些产品都很笨重,没有一款真正地流行起来。由此可知,可穿戴产品并没有受到消费者的热烈欢迎,故选[A],同时排除[D]。第一段后半部分提到,可穿戴设备都是技术新时代的重要早期信号,将引领多年的投资和创新热潮,故排除[B];第二段第二句提到,三星热切地推出了Galaxy Gear智能手表,故排除[C]。
