In the new century,“smart clothes”are used not only for covering your body, but for many other kinds of uses. Some kinds of smart(巧妙的) clothes have come into the market. A German clothing marker has invented the “mp3 blue jacket”. This kind of jacket can be used as both an MP3 player and a mobile phone. An English company has developed a cloth keyboard that can be put onto your trousers. You can control your computer with it easily anywhere. If it gets dirty, the keyboard can be washed and even ironed.

As the technology improves, smart clothes will get much smarter. Scientists are developing clothes that can show your body temperature and heat you up before you feel cold. Other smart clothes to wear are special medical ones. They can tell the doctor when you are in danger. And technology can also provide important information about your environment. For example, smart shirts can warn you of high pollution levels. Smart jackets with GPS(全球定位系统) technology can keep you from getting lost. People have begun to love the idea. Probably smart clothes will one day be common on Paris streets-- and even in your own home.
