When hackers in July demonstrated their ability to hack a Jeep, Chrysler recalled over 1.4 million vehicles in an attempt to plug the software hole that had allowed the hackers to infiltrate the car's infotainment system and wreak havoc on everything from the air conditioning to the brakes. It's a noble show, but the ability to hack isn't confined to Jeeps. Or cars. In fact, as companies start churning out more and more connected gadgets, security isn't a top concern.

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.
