Seriously, tech developers, what’s the deal? By 2015, we’re supposed to have all kinds of commercially available hover-boards, AND flying cars! If we don’t, how are Doc Brown and Marty McFly supposed to save the day, HUH?!
Are you going to let him down?
While the near-future does look like its going to be predominantly hoverboard-less, and it is looking like we will need roads, no matter where we happen to be going, there is still the occasional shining beacon of technological light.
Sure we may not have total-immersion, you-might-as-well-be-there gaming, and self-drying clothes aren’t quite up to par, but computerized clothing is definitely possible. And not only possible, but if you’re bright enough, you can do it yourself! After all, Zach did!
Yes, from the listing of stories at Engadget comes another brilliant do-it-yourself project that they’ve had submitted to them. A wonderful little techie, Zach saw a concept pair of pants with a fully functional keyboard, and loved them. So what did he do about it, since the pants weren’t exactly commercially available?
Now that’s more like it, Mr. Wayne*
He chopped a keyboard in half and used a laser cutting and some old-fashioned sewing to make himself a pair. Given that the keyboard wasn’t designed to be used like this and was cut to fit, only the left side of the keyboard works, but hey, that’s a lot cooler than any of the pants you own. Not sure I dig the pink keys, though… Hey Zach, got any color options available?
*I don’t know this “Zach” person’s actual last name. For those of you reading this a couple years ago, that’s a quote from 2008’s The Dark Knight. Try to keep up. =P
