TshirtOS - The World's First Programmable T-Shirt

TShirtOS

Everybody loves wearing T-shirts especially when it is hot outside. However the T-Shirts out there are so static. What if you could change the image or message instantly. Well that may come sooner then you think. A company called Ballantine’s has a new idea what it calls “T-Shirt OS.”

The concept is a T-shirt with an ultrathin LED screen that is connected to the Internet (via your smartphone). It can display various information like your tweets, your Intstagram feed and even take photos.

Would you wear such a T-shirt and if so what would you display on it? Leave your comments below in the comment area.

    I would have to say that initially people are going to want this shirt yes. Maybe you will make a huge profit and maybe people will truly take this shirt as a prized personal item. Although I applaud your efforts and great idea, I ask that you consider the aftermath of this simple design in what I am sure are good intentions. People are very “connected” in this century what with social media and networking. Right now there are millions upon millions of people texting, updating their status, on the phone, or on the internet as I now am. To many, it is becoming too much for society to handle. The skills of conversation are dying out and we are losing a great deal of ourselves and our skills to the massive technology era. At first many thought it was smart, innovative, and everyone was just “keeping up with the Jones.” This simple shirt is truly overwhelming in the sense that it will be a massive movement in the direction where simplicity will die out. I would ask or rather plead that you do not release this shirt or else many will lose another bit of their minds to the technological era.
