MIT Media Lab Fashions

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the geek-fashion dept.

robyn217 writes "At MIT's Media Lab, researchers are developing fashion accessories on which patterns and designs can change according to the wearer's whim, and fashion prints can be shared virally via wireless communication. This technology will be a real boon for fickle New York City baseball fans at the Subway Series in the future (they can simply flip a switch to change from a Mets to a Yankees jersey."

    or have we been hearing this forever? Yeah yeah, people will have clothes that can change designs, along with newspapers that have breaking news that what's his name from Minority Report is now a convict.

    They're only war crimes if you've agreed to them being so (the USA has shredded up the Geneva Convention already). International politics is anarchy.

    Voila you are no longer an unlawful combatant and rather a POW
    Too clever. Look, the Geneva conventions are dead, and we killed them. I guarantee our next enemy will simply declare our soldiers "unlawful combatants" through some (possibly creative) interpretation of international law.

    Well the status is that if you are once in spy clothes (not in uniform) and in battle, your rights as a PoW are lost for the future, which is why soldiers do not do volunteer spy missions and then go back to being soldiers - if it can be proven that they were once spies, regardless of their future status in combatant clothes, they can be treated as unlawful combatants.
