      Clothes can make phone calls, play music, dial your pal's number, keep you warm during cold

weather and operate your computer.

      This is not a fantasy. A British company, called electrotexiles, has created a wide range of

clothes-clothes tha have minds of their own ! Scientists, working for the company, have invented a

kind of fabric that can be mixed with flexible electronic materials to create intelligent clothing. The

results are electronic garments.

      If you think the weather has to be wired to different devices, think again. These designer clothes

are wirefree, soft to touch and washable! Like any electronic device, these hightech clothes have to

be powered. Currently, a tiny ninevolt battery serves the purpose. But the researchers hope that in the

near future the clothes will generate electricity by using body heat. These clothes are 100% shockproof,

they say.

      The electrotexiles team has also created the world's first cloth keyboard. These keyboard can be

sewn into your trousers or skirt. To use this device, you will have to sit down and tap on your lap!

These "laptap" devices are all set to take over laptop computers!

     Another useful garment is the shirtcummobile phone. This handy invention enables drivers to chat

comfortably with others at the wheel! Other popular electronic wears include the denim (牛仔布)

jacket with flexible earphones sewn into the hoop and the electronic ski jacket with a builtin heater. The

ski jacket is also programmed to send signals to a satellite. This technology is known as global positioning

system and can be used to track lost skiers and wandering kids.

     Having completed the cloth keyboard, scientists have already started to work on a new project-a

necktie that can be used as a computer mouse. What is the next? Do you have any idea?
