Fashionable Technology

I started to research into fashionable technology, when a new mobile phone comes out people immediatley want to buy it and be in with the hype.

I found some interesting new technologies which have become fashionable in Japan, I found them through typing in 'Fashionable Cyborgs' into Google.

The first new technology i came across was 'LED lights for your teeth'. These were designed and made only for a commercial but became a big hit and had millions of people wanting to purchase some.

I then came across Cyborg Barbie:

This Barbie contains an LED screen on her abdomen and a camera lens sticking out of her back!

On one website called Cyborg Fashion : The future is retro i found their definition of a Cyborg,

A body free of disease.
A body free of aging.
A body free of its most limiting appendages.
A body, well, just free.
