A glove that works as a cell phone, a vest that senses danger and a tank top that measures heart rate. It seems that the hi-tech textiles by Swedish School of Textiles researcher Lena Berglin could turn anyone into a superhero.

Once upon a time, a camera was a camera and a cell phone a cell phone.
Thanks to Sony Ericsson, Nokia and others this is no longer the case.
I can live with that.
But do we need mittens that could work as cell phones?
As a Swede, I feel our hi-tech engineers and scientists perhaps should focus more on finding effective ways to blow up Talibans.
Seriously speaking, I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out there actually exists a market for some of these products.
Would have been nice to know what the picture you posted was about.
*insert Super Mario Bros. theme here*
WOWOWOWOWOw!
Where did you get that picture? It must be from Swedens desert southwest.
LOL — Yep, that’s an awesome vid....
“Swedish superheroes.”
- And here I was thinking there existed only one Swedish superhero;
Bamse, the Socialist Bear

That picture is its own justification. :-)
Yeah, we need a rule. No more pictures of gorgeous Swedish blondes without two paragraphs of explicatory text!
Aren’t those girls the FR shooting team? Seems like I have seen a similar pic of that group on the admin mod page. Magnificent.
;)
Sweet Mary!!
All hail the Mod Squad.
LOL
Not Guilty! ... er...
Admittedly, all Swedish women aren’t beautiful.
Some fail to become H&M models or au pair girls and have to join the Swedish Armed Forces.
This is the sad fate of miss Elisabeth Alm:
Not only is Miss Alm’s fate not something to be sad about, but she is in fact a quite beautiful woman. Most of us here, when not being silly pigs, would snap to attention if we were every so blessed as to be in this honorable woman’s presence.
“Most of us here, when not being silly pigs..”
- Deep down, all of us guys are silly pigs.
Everywhere around the globe.
In fact, the vast majority of Swedish men who purchased the 1 Night in Paris DVD didn’t have the slightest interest in the artistic aspects of the production.
I hereby wish to apologize from a nation of filthy pigs to another one:)
interesting .... and here I thought compression shirts were hi tech.
ROFL!....
It matters?
