High Tech Hand Bags

Baglady 2.0

— August 18, 2008 — Fashion
Fashion is one thing, and technology is another. An item can be fashionable but not hi-tech and vice versa, but what happens when the two characteristics are fused together? Would the result be impressive or simply depressing?

In the case of the Baglady 2.0, it is an impressive thing. It is a nice handbag that is equipped with a customized electronic performance tool. Baglady 2.0 has an embedded board in it and an antenna.

The equipment is programmed to deliver sound through live wireless broadcasting as well as digital images and text. The data generated can be mapped via GPS to mark the location where the media stems from.

Aside from being functional, this bag is also great for women who want to be noticed. Who wouldn’'t look twice at someone carrying a bag with a keyboard and antenna protruding out? Just make sure to carry the bag in a stylish manner, and not like a geek.

The only sad part is that Baglady 2.0 is not a mass-produced item.
