More on futuristic apparel

Here is an article from a Scottish newspaper that talks about the kinds of things our clothes might do for us in the future. It doesn't cover the scary stuff, like when your pants tell the store who you are as you walk in the door, but it has some ideas I really like. I have a heart murmur, and always wonder if I'll end up with a robot heart someday, that whirs like a machine instead of beating. The article mentions a vest that would have the ability to monitor the wearer's heart rate and send an alert if it's irregular. This could be good to have until my robot heart arrives...although it would get embarrassing if my clothes started flashing warning lights every time a cute boy made my heart beat faster.
