Erik De Nijs - The Future of Fashion??

So I found this on the net, and i think its cool. Its actually well over a year old, but who cares?







Last year a 22 year old Dutch design student named Erik De Nijs came up with an idea combining two completely different products into one inspirational concept. He simply took a pair of his favorite jeans and stitched a keyboard onto the lap, along with several other connections to make it somewhat useful. According to different sites, its "too geeky", "ridiculous", and just plain useless. But i personally wouldn't mind keeping a pair of my own[Wired]





















I mean of course you couldn't just wear em out on the town all the time, but the principle of it all is that his simple thinking could lead to great things for other people. There's already usb connections, speakers, and a joystick/mouse pocket readily attached. Think about the technicians who have to carry around lots of equipment while performing field maintenance for god-knows-what. Cable guys, telephone techs, aircraft mechanics, etc. Think Big, people.
