Go and watch any period drama (anything with, say, Colin Firth in it, or the
words "Jane Austen's" in its title.

When you have seen it, complete the following sentence using no more than 40
words:

"I am now convinced that 'fashion' will make people wear absolutely anything
because ... "

After all, only 4 years ago, everyone thought that earpieces were for the
deaf. Now they're for making mobile phone calls on trains so everyone in the
carriage can get in on the conversation.

Indeed. As someone who was around and working in IT back in the days of the
Microwriter Agenda, I'm amazed that these haven't caught on further. It
CAN'T be harder to learn than a mobile phone txt thing, can it?

What I'd suggest for "urban-wear" is that rather than having a set of
physical pressure pads, you have a thin pair of gloves with sensors in the
fingers, and some kind of "flex all fingers twice to turn on keyboard mode"
thing.
