What will people wear in the future?

[@fairholmka]

I really like the idea of the clothing industry moving away from using animals.

[@Azknowledgethirsty]

Animals are too slow, this will be greener, faster and cheaper

[@talon1084]

@BeGood 2Me But mass producing animals for their skin gives us a bit of an unfair advantage in that competition, does it not?

[@texanboiii562]

Karen Fairholm haha!! What’s your reaction when they engage in cannibalism? 😂 are you gonna ask for a policy that’ll arrest bad behaved animals?

[@starchannel123]

BeGood 2Me You have issues and I wonder why you hate animals. We need can protect wildlife and use them in moderation. There's no need to abuse them.

[@neyouxddd2371]

[@baroncaba]

we just want clothes that'll last a long time, not fast fashion

[@aiai-j7i]

I really like the idea of mushroom leather versus all that "vegan leather" used now, i.e. pleather! Only a small percentage is derived from natural materials, most is PVC and polyurethane.

[@benjif2424]

Without standardization (like mobile phones, voice controlled Bluetooth speakers,...) smart appliances only succeed in niche markets. Smart clothing is 95% hype, not a massive movement.

[@kirdnehh]

Benji F for now

[@benjif2424]

@@kirdnehh with that logic anything could be the next big wave. Just like ever since 1980 everyone said in a decade ai will be smarter than humans. Technology does not follow hype, it follows economics.

[@vksepe]

@@benjif2424 The internet of things is growing though. 1/5 have smart assistants in the home in the United States for example. Logically the next step would be wearables.

[@benjif2424]

@@vksepe Wearables have had a hard time, because they are only practicle for niche-areas. Fitness trackers work for an arguably large group, but other than that I don`t see big potential. I can`t predict what the next Bolt will train with, but most people will not be wearing anything revolutionary in the next decade. I believe medicine has the greatest potential to make money with wearables, but they are already doing that (and have been for quite some time), so nothing revolutionary there either.

[@anomaly9156]

​@@benjif2424 Wouldn't something like temperature control be popular if it gets cheap? At least in the areas with extreme climates. Since that is a big reason why people wear clothes...

[@Alexander-tu3iv]

I'm sceptical of how effective AI and big data is at predicting trends. It reminds me of Henry Fords quote "had I asked what the people wanted they would have said faster horses" People don't know what they want until they have seen especially when it comes to clothing.

[@aguamenti1175]

I believe that the current technologies for creating clothes have reached a new level and this is really impressive.

[@imdm_ofc]

This is only talking about consumers and the market. But what about solutions to challenges?

[@sv-bd5em]

I just don’t understand what’s the point of collecting all this data about your body. Like do you ever analyze it? Unless you’re a professional athlete? Also can’t a smart watch do all of that already?

[@farkasabel]

you are not gathering for yourself. you are gathering for companies to bombard you with targeted adds.

[@Roar902]

Imagine having clothes that prevent you an heart stroke

[@davincicode2997]

you could detect and treat illnesses before you feel any of the symptoms for example.

[@binozia-old-2031]

You can give the info to your doctor to see if you have any symptoms of an illness allowing you to cure it before it becomes a problem

[@crazieeez]

@@binozia-old-2031 You need data of others to provide more accurate diagnosis. Most people going to the doctor's office are too sick to talk. How can a doctor help you if you are too sick to talk? Doctors rely on your symptoms data and data of others to provide an accurate remedy to your problem. Otherwise, if a doctor had to guess, it may take up to 20 guesses and by then you will be dead. I prefer to have accurate data and provide one and only one solution that works.

[@simonnuman6840]

[@psd993]

Literally all of culture and food from the dawn of civilization is tied to identity, vanity and personal expression. It's not some capitalist conspiracy. History wasn't filled with people drinking a beige smoothie for nutrition and brown rags for clothes.

[@0777coco]

huh. I don't know if I like this, but chances are I won't even realise it once it's become popular.

[@netizencapet]

The greatest clothes, much like the greatest anything, in terms of aesthetic depth and taste, have come and gone. One thinks of the Qing dynasty's imperial dragon robes, the height of Jacobean embroidery, the elaborate beadwork and jewelry of the Massai people of Kenya/Tanzania. Unless AI can minutely analyze and redeploy the skill and design prowess of past masters and allow future humans to draw upon and extend their mastery, their visions and discretion will not be surpassed...not by a long shot. The same applies to facade work, architecture, sculpture, etc.

[@donovandelaney3171]
