However, with an opt-in system I'm sure a lot of people would like the idea. I know you've featured this before, but this post also brings to mind Hussein Chalayan's brilliant high tech morphing garments. At the less conceptual level I remember reading articles on wearable technology as far back as 1999. I wonder what's holding it back? A lack of technological progress or has the technology simply not yet been commercialized?

However, I do like the idea of being able to buy things or Google them with a quick photo. So.. interesting.

I agree that a barcode is not the most aesthetically pleasing design, but maybe that can force the brands to approach it a new way to make it more aesthetically pleasing. I'm a rare breed of my generation in that I'm very 'low-tech' when it comes to my phone... mines doesn't even have a camera, it just calls and texts! The idea of the world and all this info at your fingertips is pretty mind blowing and a little too much for me. It seems that everything is changing, and at such a quick rate, that we can never keep up with the latest things.... but then again, that is exactly what the fashion industry is about! So why do I love it so much? :) Very interesting read!
