Manufacturers are racing to tie every electronic device we own together into a network of incessant information, which has resulted in some beautiful connected devices, but there's a fine line between not enough information and far, far too much of it. When it comes to devices like wearables, makers need to remember the human element behind design, and the human element is already distracted.
