Ok, so the speakers on the pictured shirt don’t actually make any noise—consider it artistic license. But shirts which do make noise may not be too far off, thanks in no small part to our Japanese friends, who have developed a method for weaving copper wire and magnets into cloth and apparently intend to bring it to market in the form of wearable speakers—iPod use in the subway may soon cease being a private affair. No idea if/when this will actually come to market, but I can’t see it being very popular in uber-crowded Asian cities. Bring it to America, though, and we can revolutionize urban impromptu breakdance warfare.
