Smart Threads
from the your-clothes-are-smarter-than-you dept
We've had various articles about smart clothes, but why stop there? Now people are talking about smart threads that can be sewn into clothing. The main example in the article is having a mobile phone sewn directly into your shirt. Of course, if I understand this properly, it would mean you would need to wear the same shirt everyday (or buy an awful lot of these shirts - which I imagine would be more expensive than your plain old garden variety shirt) if you actually want to use your mobile phone. I'm sure that some of the other uses (such as for doctors or soldiers) make a lot more sense, though.
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
