And today, technology is maturing to the point that meaningful amounts of these energy giveaways can be harvested to liberate wearables from ever needing a battery. Much talk of wearable technology focuses on health or other human needs. Fortunately, though, at wearables’ modest power budgets, energy is effectively everywhere.
