As you probably know, clothing has been around since the time of Adam and Eve— and it's become a lot more sophisticated than those early fig(无花果)leaf designs. On the other hand, electronics have been with us for only a few hundred years— beginning with Franklin running around with his portable lightning rod. With gadgets(小器具)more popular than ever these days, the combination of clothing and electronics was inevitable.
First let me mention a line of jackets launched in the fall of 2000 by Royal Philips'Electronics and Levi Strauss & Co. Philips'original press release called it “ merging fashion and technology in the creation of work wear for the digital age ” . I love that kind of talk.
Each design is said to contain “a simple body area network using wires integrated into the body design”. What it really does is allow you to use a Philips Xenium GSM mobile phone and MP 3 player in a jacket— all controlled by a unified remote.
