Potential Disadvantages.

Despite all the advantages wearable computers present to organization, one should know that it also provides a list of disadvantages:


  1. Equipment can be heavy: this is a huge problem the army is facing on the battle field. the heaviness of the technology is obliging soldier to move slower
  2. Equipment can also be expensive and unaffordable. not only organization must pay for the technology it self but also the cost provided to train its employee to adapt to this new technology.
  3. Can be harmful to users (e.g. can cause irritation at heat, or headaches)
  4. Since this is a portable to use it has a high risk of being stolen, thus the risk of losing personal data is greater.
  5. It has still lots of limitations (e.g. bulkiness and short life battery)
