Will We Wear iPants?

Some years back, we began to carry considerable communication technology in pockets and purses. Now, some of the world's greatest tech companies believe, we are ready to wear our communications technology. Glasses, watches, even clothes will soon be brimming with communications potential.

Google's Glass and Apple's iWatch are just the beginning. Nike's FuelBand provides an LED readout for athletic endeavors. And other companies are developing clothes with communications functions, including the ability to project a virtual keypad on a shirt sleeve.

The Los Angeles Times reports on this trend.
