Talking about
ubiquitous computing I stumbled across a
BBC article on
Oliver MacCarthy's final year
design project at
Brunel University, the "intelligent" clothes peg...

| The intelligent clothes pegs will predict the weather and lock themselves shut when they forecast rain, stopping you hanging your washing on the line just before the sky opens up... |
It's one of those things that will just never take off, for blatantly obvious reasons like the
cost-benefit analysis, but it's something that definitely appeals to the
geek in me...
Hey Al,
ReplyDeleteI see that now you are married, you have developed an interest in clothes pegs eh?
Best Wishes!
Sharon
It's a slippery slope...
ReplyDeleteWhat happens when the clothes are already on the line - can you not get them off as they have sensed rain on the way?!
ReplyDeletewhy the hell to lock on when you need to get your clothes off? Why not to make a lot of noise to get an attention to take clothes of the line on a first place
