Combining the creativity of traditional arts and crafts with new technologies leads to fascinating new jobs and products. Typically the technology is a tool that helps composers to create modern music, architects to design complex buildings, or textile designers to map out intricately woven patterns. But more and more often the technology is part of the result, electronic music, a kinetic sculpture with sensors, or, in the case of International Fashion Machines, a tablecloth with electronic embroidery that lets you play Jeopardy. The field of e-textiles is not much of an industry yet, but research is continuing with the hope of more government funding in the future. Imagine the military applications of dynamic camouflage clothing.
