  • A leading British futurist forecasts a future of head-to-toe AI enabled exercise gear, right down to your running shoes.  Here's what we know:
  • An AI enabled sports and exercise future is forecast in 5 years by UK futurist Andrew Grill
  • He says standalone 5G by 2028-2029 could revolutionize exercise
  • Some fascinating thinking from Grill:
  1. Next generation of teens could be wearing sneakers that talk to each other
  2. We will be wearing totally connected clothing
  3. Our sneakers will have embedded chips that talk to each and to people we run past on the street
  4. The sneakers will also collect data on your style preferences, budgetary considerations and more
  5. The clothing and sneakers will connect the wearer with more devices, things and people.
