The next step in computing is almost here. Kazuhiro Taniguchi, a Japanese engineer in the Hiroshima City University, has developed a tiny personal computer that is worn on the ear. The ear computer can be controlled with the blink of an eye or the click of a tongue.

The 0.59-ounce wireless ear device has bluetooth capability, a GPS compass, gyro-sensor battery, barometer, speaker and microphone.

Called the the Earclip, the wearable PC has a microchip and data storage, enabling users to load software. .

Taniguchi said the basic idea is that people will wear it in the same way they wear earrings. Developers are targeting the finished product by the end of 2015. .

The Earclip also has the capability to function as a hearing aid or a health monitor. Good. We will all need this real soon.
