Where technology is Taking YOUR Clothes



Did you ever think of what your clothing will look like in five years?  No, well many companies are doing just that and looking to technology for help.  Companies are producing wearable technology clothing.  Clothing that moves, changes colors, and even guitars on t-shirts that you can play.

Clothing being turned into batteries, that could change clothing as we know it.  Fabric batteries can turn your clothing into portable chargers for phones, smartphones, and ipods or MP3 players.  It works by coating the fibers with a special ink that once dried allows the fibers to become porous and great conductors of electricity.  What's makes this clothing even better, even after laundering the clothing will still continue to conduct electricity.

Another technology perk, flexible and wearable designs such as LED t-shirts.  Think of your light up shoes but only better, now your clothing can light up.  It can allows designers to design a whole new creative look.  There now are millions of more possible clothing options than we ever though before.  This new technology unlike other like it can be placed in just about every fabric including rubber, plastic, and glass.  Who knows maybe soda companies will produce light up cans that makes their brand stand out that much more in the consumers eyes.  A new product was the Rock Guitar Shirt, which had a design of a guitar that could be synced up can be played like an actual guitar.


In additon, this technology has practical uses also not just for fashion, for instance, heated clothing.  Also for those consumer who are looking for the healthy root, this clothing monitor heart rates, blood pressure etc.

Where do you see clothing going in five years?
