-I think the Pope meeting with Kim Davis would be a news story because this is a big deal in America and lots of people disagree with Kim Davis. For the Pope to come to America and say that he supports this idea that most people are against is newsworthy.

SHORT ANSWER
A wearable is technology that you wear on your body, such as a fitbit or apple watch. We are seeing more and more of these wearables because modern day technology is advancing. These wearables provide people with a way to carry more in a smaller item, for instance a watch. Nobody likes having a whole bunch of things in their pockets and in their hands so these wearables are much more convenient and therefore people use them. Americans will almost always go for the more convenient option.
Personally i like the fitbit because I really enjoy to run. The fitbit tracks activity and everything else a serious runner wants to know about. Furthermore, they are small and compact but hold a lot of information. This way you don't have to have anything bulky on you while you are running.
I do think that we will be seeing a lot more wearables as time progresses. Everyday technology is advancing and they are able to make more convenient items for people's everyday lives. Like I said before, human nature is to go with the more convenient item which is one of a wearables main purposes.
Personally I think that these wearables will be taken to an extreme. Maybe in the future what we see as extreme will be normal but I know that I don't really want a tracking chip in my body. I believe that there will be wearables made that invade peoples privacy yet some will choose to wear them for any number of reasons. For example, some already consider the google glass privacy violation but this is just the start of a wearables revolution. Scientists keep improving everyday and I think that wearables will be a huge market later on.
