So there is this new idea out there for shirts that will act as antennas for your phones and other devices and enhance it's signal 10 fold. There are multiple problems I have with this idea. One, what happens when it gets wet? I'm pretty sure that we all know that when electronic devices get wet, they break and electrocute and sometimes explode. I mean I guess they could try to water proof it, but there is talk of using this for the military and if it starts pouring on the troops for days (yes for some reason I'm thinking we're fighting in Vietnam right now for some reason) I don't know how well or long the devices will last. This also brings me to my second point: Military use. Military personel have somewhere around 200 pounds of gear to carry around. The last thing they want to hear is that they have one more device to worry about and carry around. That would be pretty bad and annoying to me if I was a in the Military. My last problem with this idea is the price. It's $1000!!! I mean I think if I really needed better signal for my phone... I would just get a new phone. They say it's supposed to come down at some point... but until that happens... to me it's just a rediculous idea.
But just to be clear, if it gets to like $50 and works correctly with no accounts of shortages, I'll be all over it. But I think I'm fine until then.
