As we know, we all need clothes. There are all kinds of clothes to satisfy people’s needs. So “smart clothes” came into being.
“Smart clothes” are used not only for covering your bodies, but for many other kinds of uses. A German clothing maker has invented the “MP3 blue jacket”. This kind of jacket can be used as both an MP3 player and a mobile phone. An English company has developed a cloth keyboard that can be put onto your pants. You can control your computer with it easily anywhere. If it gets dirty, the keyboard can be washed and even ironed (熨).
With the technology improving, smart clothes will get much smarter. Inventors are developing clothes that can show your body temperature and heat you up before you feel cold. Other smart clothes to wear are special medical ones. They can tell the doctor when you are in danger. Shirts can warn you of high pollution levels. This technology can also provide important information about your environment. Jackets with GPS (全球定位系统) technology can keep you from getting lost.
People have begun to love the idea. Maybe smart clothes will be common in our life one day.
