Here's the topic for today - please share your thoughts in a comment!



Making clothing of extremely fine materials that are very, very strong sounds like it could be untearable, especially if these materials weren't plant fibers but something synthetic. “Electrospinning” is a way of turning polymer fluids into synthetic cloths, so I figure in 100 years this will be a very good product and one that could be made on demand with additive printers, too.

But Kirk needs to get his shirt torn.

Seriously though, I can see it being as common as synthetic fibers are today. And if you can print them! Disposable clothes. Wear once and recycle. No waste of precious water on laundry!

Just access your Marshall's app and order today for your household printer!

We'll all be nudist by then!! :D

My thinking on this is similar to the Graphene discussion, and it'll certainly be commonplace!

Pretty much. People will just print clothing as they need to and probably recycle them with the same unit… unless they really like them, maybe :)
