The Game Boy is the most popular handheld gaming console ever. It allowed us to take games like Tetris, Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda with us on-the-go, changing the gaming industry and our free time forever.

I’m looking at wearable tech and how it's developed over the years. I’m talking to Wyatt Cenac about everything from the first ever wearable computer glasses in 1984 to '90s cyber-fashion shows to the 21st century's Google Glass. I’m also joined by both Austin Evans and Michael Gregory to check out old sneaker tech.
