Electronics that wear well
Carrying your mobile phone, laptop or PDAs may become a thing of the past when technology goes into your clothes. A Germany company already sell a jogging outfit, which has an MP3 player in the sleeve, activated by your voice command through a microphone in the collar. There are also new washable fabrics that have electronic circuits woven into them so in effect the design on your coat could become a keyboard, and all the other electronic parts could miniaturise and vanish into pockets, in effect you are wearing your phone, iPod or computer...perhaps even all of them at the same time.
