Abstract
Envision a personal computer that goes far beyond Tom Cruise's wearable informant in Mission Impossible - a computer that actually fits into the heel of a shoe and is powered by the mechani-cal energy of walking. This is no longer a fantasy, but a reality.

There are many of us who walk around like packed horses with laptop, cell phone, PDA & pager. Not all these things help you everywhere. It is also absurd that these devices can't talk to each other. Several advancements from the research in hardware, software & communications are changing the world. Let me show you around these technologies, and the way they can simplify anyone's life. The idea of the new wearable technology is not intended only for personal enter-tainment, like many of you may be thinking. Let's go around the world of Wearable Computers to know more.
