A New Meaning For The Power Tie
from the charge-me-up dept
There's been lots of talk about wearable computers, high tech clothing, and recently some talk about weaving electric fibers into clothing, and now it's time to combine them all. Soon your clothes may power your wearable computing devices, by having solar receptors woven into the fabric. So, as you walk around all day, you'd be a human power plant. Perhaps someone should suggest making these clothes mandatory in California to avoid these rolling blackouts.
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
