Actually you mean when they are well packaged. You don't need
high-speed internet connectivity in order to perform the operations
commonly that were what started this exchange: audio/video ubiquitous
recording. Nor is this high end connectivity needed to use wearables to
directly augment memory, filter sensory inputs and do various context
aware tasks. It is certainly a nice-to-have and will almost certainly
be present by the time (quite soon imho) when wearables are
well-packaged and even considered fashionable by at least the hi-tech
crowd.
