Technology Innovation

The innovation I found was electric clothing. Physicists at Wake Forest University have developed a fabric that doubles as a spare outlet. When used to line your shirt, or even your pillowcase or office chair, it converts subtle differences in temperature across the span of the clothing into electricity. And because the different parts of your shirt can vary by about 10 degrees, you could power up your MP3 player just by sitting still. According to the fabric creator, David Carroll, a cell phone case lined with the material could boost the phone’s battery charge by 10 to 15 percent over eight hours, using the heat absorbed from your pants pocket. I really do not think this will impact anybody. Nor will it solve any problems. I don't find this innovation very interesting, I feel like electric clothes is too much.
