Wearables are doing fascinating things for not only the tech junkie - they are increasingly becoming mainstream to fit every member of the “modern family”. There are so many today that meet all of the needs of all ages, so we decided to round up the perfect wearable for every member of the family. Here’s what devices we expect to see mom, dad, kids & co. all sporting in just a few short years:
1. Mom
The Jawbone wearable wristband and integrated app are the perfect tools to make sure mom is staying healthy throughout her hectic day.
