Self referential

I had been thinking about OLED technology and the future of personal attire because I bought this WiFi detecting T-shirt for SWIPIAW recently. It’s cool, but in a decade or so OLED technology will be good enough to have VGA (or better) quality displays that you can build in to a shirt like that. The naturally thought was, would people put their Facebook page on the front of their shirt, so they can be present physically and virtually at the same time? I can’t wait!

The virtual does away with the need for the physical. That would be like driving to your friend’s house so you could talk to him on your cellphone in person.

No, because it’s multiplexed. It’d be like talking to your friend while taking calls on your cell phone without interruptions. Everyone can read your shirt, even if you’re already talking to someone else.

But you have to be, you know, out in public. That’s so analog!
