Smart Clothes

from the because-your-clothes-are-just-too-dumb dept

A nice article as we enter the holiday shopping season about the fact that your clothes are just too dumb. That's why people have been working hard creating smart clothes. They can alert you when your wallet gets stolen. Or, they can help you set a pace (and keep pushing you) when you're out jogging. Personally, this sounds awful to me, but I'm sure it'll be a hit with folks who like to show off that they are really geekier than others...

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    This could be bad...

    I know I'd hate pants that screamed when I put them on and said stuff like "Oh, man, I'm gonna split in two!" Granted, I probably wouldn't buy them in the first place, but...
    Also, the sound perfume could make emotions know you didn't want known ie fake sympathy, when you express it, but then the little speaker goes "wha whaaa" (you know, that oh well sort of sound) or something similar.
    Could you threaten the clothes back? "Quiet, socks, or you're going in with the reds next wash. How'd you like to be pink for the rest of your existence, eh?"

    I don't know I would think it would be neat to be able to have a conversation with your clothes( eventually I mean) and be able to not feel all alone because i mean your socks are kinda alive if they talk to you anyways.

    Be nice to your socks for heavens sake! They have to be on your feet anyways! I wouldn't like it either! They are just saying how they feel! They have feelings to you know! How would you like it if you were a sock and you had to be on somebodies feet twenty four seven? You would even have to go throw the smelly part as well!

    Ryan,
    I don't think the pants would actually tell you they were gonna split in two. I personally wouldn't buy the pants either, but I think you're a little off on your pants talking back to you. No offense or anything.
