It might be not long before you start wearing a computer just as you put on your shoes, watch and jacket.

8220;As general computing systems become smaller, we are reaching a point at which it becomes conceivable to don these devices easily,8221; Andy Fagg of the computer science faculty at the University of Massachusetts has been quoted by online ScienceDaily as saying.

Fagg, who is developing a wearable computer, said such a device offers access to information and communication resources at any time during walking hours.

8220;It isn8217;t about being able to write a paper or send an e-mail while you are grocery store. It8217;s about having digital assistance as you go about your life,8221; he added.

Fagg8217;s aim, ScienceDaily said, is to teach the computer to 8220;notice8221; a user8217;s routines and offer information accordingly.

For instance, if the computer notices that he enters a conference room at a particular time, 8220;it should figure out he is going to a meeting and pull out appropriate documents, including minutes of the last meeting, and notes from related discussions.
