imageYour clothes will soon become accessories for your gadgets, say fashion and technology experts. The technology will be so much a part of you and your clothing, the outside world might not even know it is there though.

But there are many design challenges for fashion and engineers if they want people to wear technology. One thing is certain, you will not have to resemble the Borg from Star Trek if you do not want to.

"Wearable computing can mean anything from a cell phone to a large computer in a backpack. But right now they are very visible and obvious with wires, headsets and twiddlers," said Joseph Dvorak, who works in research and development at Motorola US.

"Things are changing as phones and PDAs all get smaller and smaller. Speech is also becoming more reliable so keypads and the visible stuff is being replaced."
