The “Millennials” or “Generation Y”.
The generation that is in college today and will be for the next several years are often called the Millennials. These individuals are born between 1982-2000 (dates can vary) and have also been called “the Net Generation” the “Echo Boomers” or “Generation Y”.
22 April 2014Dr.K.C.Dash,.PG.Dept.of Library & Inf.Science,Utkal University
The millennial generation is thought to be extremely technologically inclined. Millennials have lived all or most of their lives in a technological world. Millennials often feel very comfortable with technology and don’t see computers, cell phones, and MP3 players as technologies but rather as an integral part of their daily lives. A Millennials’ world is full of gadgets such as radios, cd players, tvs, satellite or cable tv, dvd players, several video game consoles, computers, mp3 players, laptops, blackberrys, and access to the internet.
22 April 2014Dr.K.C.Dash,.PG.Dept.of Library & Inf.Science,Utkal University
Through using all of these technologies, Millennials are good multi taskerrs. I wouldn’t find it uncommon to find someone from this generation using the phone, internet, IM, music, and video all in conjunction with each other. Perhaps because of the easy access to mobile technology and the ability and comfort with multitasking, Millennials have high expectations for technology use in education. They expect integrated information technology into their educational experiences. 22 April 2014

While jogging, your shoes can record your running speed,
acceleration, path and distance. While taking a subway, the ring you wear can display how far your train is and how soon it will come; it also shows you at which stop you should take a transfer and when the next train will arrive. While putting on your mask in a city with poor air quality, your mask not only protects you, but it also detects and shares the air quality data to the cloud so that everybody can see air quality anywhere in the city on the display of his/her mobile phone. All of these are not just scenarios, but they have become real. Wearable technology has been widely adopted in various end-use segments and become a part of our daily life

Although the Information Age has many upsides, one of its major downsides is information overload. Indeed, the amount of information easily pushes the limit of what people can manage. This conflict drives research to seek a solution to humanity's information woes. As computers have shrunk from room size to palm size, so they have also moved from being passive accessories, such as laptops and personal digital assistants, to wearable appliances that form an integral part of our personal space. Wearable computers are always on and accessible. As the computer moves from desktop to coat pocket to the human body, its ability to help manage, sort, and filter information will become more intimately connected to our daily lives.
Dr.K.C.Dash,.PG.Dept.of Library & Inf.Science,Utkal University22 April 2014
Technology has moved beyond wireless and pocketable to wearable.
Wearable technology is not a new concept and had been used in the medical and fitness industries for years, but now new uses are emerging and this looks set to lead to significant growth. The term "Wearable technology" embraces various other concepts like: fashionable technology, smart materials, wearable computing, e-textile and fashion. The smart clothing and wearable technology concepts are based on a permanent integration of clothing and technology.
Dr.K.C.Dash,.PG.Dept.of Library & Inf.Science,Utkal University22 April 2014
Wearable technology is close to the body and enables technology to be used in situations where it’s normally not possible.
For example, the user interface can be a mobile phone which is integrated into a jacket in such a way that no dialling is required and, thereby, hands free communication is possible during an action activity such as snowbound.

WEARABLE COMPUTER A wearable computer is a computing device small and
light enough to be worn on one's body without causing discomfort. Unlike a laptop or a palmtop, wearable computer is constantly turned on and interacts with a real-world task. Information could be even very context sensitive. A typical wearable computer consists of a battery or human powered computing unit and carried on a belt or in a jacket. The display would be with a head mounted unit typically the input is either voice driven or with wireless wrist mounted devices. The data storage is local and does not depend on any network connection.

7 Things Libraries Can Do with Google Glass
1.) Enhance Library Tours - Google Glass could amp up run-of-the-mill library tours with augmented reality overlays and imagery, as well as audio and video files explaining the history of the building, library collections, artwork, and more.
2.) Record Author Talks & Events – Wearing a pair of Google Glass frames, you or your library patrons could easily record library events while still socializing and interacting with participants, hands-free!
3.) Enhance Makerspaces – Offering Google Glasses to builders in makerspaces could provide them with all manner of helpful information including diagrams, instructional videos and more.
Dr.K.C.Dash,.PG.Dept.of Library & Inf.Science,Utkal University22 April 2014
4.) Record hands-on Video Tutorials – Just as in the above video, Google Glass could record hands-on instructional videos for patrons from the creator’s point of view. 5.) Provide real-time OCR (optical character recognition) and text-to-speech translation for the visually impaired – Jeff Smith at the University of New Brunswick Libraries suggested using Google Glass to open the world of assistive technology for the visually impaired. One way to do this would be to leverage the capabilities of Glass provide to text-to-speech translation of written materials.
Dr.K.C.Dash,.PG.Dept.of Library & Inf.Science,Utkal University22 April 2014
6.) Provide real-time language translation of foreign texts – Google Glass has the inherent ability to provide tranlations of textual materials, so why not let patrons use the frames to read foreign texts? 7.) Speak to patrons in their own language - Google Glass also has the capability of voice translations. Librarians wearing the frames could use them to discover translations, and/or there is already talk about apps that will let two people wearing Glass frames see the translations instantly on their own displays.

Four foundational principles Jennifer Darmour J has developed four foundational
principles, which she believes, if adopted, would take wearable tech into the mainstream. Understand and be Sensitive to Your Users’ Context There is a lot of innovative technology out there that is disruptive and pushing the boundaries on what we can do. But moving the ideas from the lab into the hands of consumers and their context is challenging and sometimes just doesn’t work. Effective technology respects the context of the user, her environment and lifestyle, and addresses specific pain points. Dr.K.C.Dash,.PG.Dept.of Library &
Inf.Science,Utkal University22 April 2014
Make it Discreet
No one wants to be weighted down by a mountain of electronics strapped to their bodies.
For wearable devices to be broadly adopted, they need to recede into the background, so we can focus on our activities while still being connected.
Dr.K.C.Dash,.PG.Dept.of Library & Inf.Science,Utkal University22 April 2014
Add Value by Connecting To Software and Services
The most ubiquitous wearable technology today is the smart phone. It is always with us and always connected to software, apps, and services.
Using the phone’s processing power, sensors, storage and data capabilities, and services creates huge new opportunities for wearable.
The Nike+ platform is an exemplary model for how connectivity can extend the value of wearable technology.

Remove the Geek Factor A handful of great thinkers and experimenters, such as Steve Mann, have pioneered this new wearable technology space.
But for all of their technological advancements that they have explored in the lab, they have created images of wearable tech as geek-wear, not consumer-wear.
We now have the chance to rebrand “wearable technology” for consumer markets by making it not only functional but stylish.
Dr.K.C.Dash,.PG.Dept.of Library & Inf.Science,Utkal University22 April 2014
To ensure the success of a new wearable device, it has to meet at least two basic requirements from technology viewpoint: compactness and portability. In order to achieve compactness, each component of the device should be selected as small as possible, including the battery. Regarding to portability, power efficiency should be the most important consideration because it eliminates the need of frequent battery re-charging. Therefore, choosing small size and power efficient components will be the fundamental challenge for engineering.
Dr.K.C.Dash,.PG.Dept.of Library & Inf.Science,Utkal University22 April 2014
Disadvantages of wearable technology
Parents and teachers will have less control over children and students Loss of privacy The biggest challenge in wearable systems is to identify effective interaction modalities for wearable computers. The other software challenges include integration of information repositories that augment limited device capabilities. Dr.K.C.Dash,.PG.Dept.of Library &
Inf.Science,Utkal University22 April 2014
on hardware technologies for wearable computing, there are four major problems – power, networking, privacy and interface. The last, the interesting and the most haunting problem is "How do we communicate with the computer and how does it communicate to us?". Which is the most effective way of communicating to the device and back to the human? What are the prime Ergonomics issues and what makes the device more convenient? This answer for this would only evolve along the time, and there may not be any perfect answer to this question. Dr.K.C.Dash,.PG.Dept.of Library &
Inf.Science,Utkal University22 April 2014
Conclusion
Wearable Technology is a new concept and the young generation will find more and more products in future.
Dr.K.C.Dash,.PG.Dept.of Library & Inf.Science,Utkal University22 April 2014
Wearable technology and products intimately bind our lives to healthcare, medical, wellness, sports and fitness, and lead us to better, healthier and more convenient life. It forms an industry with a high growth potential.
