Mr. Farringdon likes the idea of interacting with electronics through one's clothes.
Networks of autonomous microsensors promise to revolutionize the way people interact with electronics, enabling ambient intelligence.
This got them thinking about how wearable devices may be the next big form factor in computing, and how they could be used to better interact with electronics.
Whereas my generation (I was born in 1975 and the guys make fun of me for feeling old but I do feel old, but that could just be sleep deprivation) interacted with electronics using the Sterlingian command line, my son's generation will take direct intuitive and physical contact with electronics for granted.
