A new study from Rackspace titled "The Human Cloud: Wearable Technology from Novelty to Productivity" reports that 18 percent of the population in the United States and United Kingdom are using wearable technology, and the majority of those users (82 percent of Americans and 71 percent of Brits) say these devices are making their lives better.

A quick search didn't lead me to the actual study: anyone know where I can fetch it from?
I actually have a Jawbone Up which is pretty cool. It stopped working and I haven't managed to exchange it. Need to solve that problem first. Also, I have a Withings scale which I find fascinating and useful. Finally, a few days ago my new Ford Focus asked me if I wanted it to send a diagnostic report to it's website for me to check.
Yup, it's pretty much here.
