Technology is changing almost every industry, especially fashion. Imagine wearing a computer in the form of clothing, like a jacket. Now it is possible.

The clothing company Levi Strauss & Co. worked with technology company Google to create what is being called a smart jacket. The word "small" is often used to describe actions controlled by a computer. What makes this jacket "smart" is washable(耐洗的)technology added to the cuff(袖口).

Ivan Poupyrev heads the smart clothing project for Google.

"When somebody calls you, your jacket shakes and gives you lights and you know somebody is calling you."

A touch on the cuff can provide directions for helping you get to where you need to go. The jacket also can play music when connected with a mobile phone or headphones.

"You get the most important features of the phone without taking your eyes off the road." said Paul Dillinger of Levi Strauss & Co.

The Levi's smart jacket can be bought on the Internet for $350.

It is just one step to smarter clothing.

Poupyrev explained that Google plans to use the technology for any kind of clothing. He added that the company is working with other partners in the fashion industry to help to make their products connected.

From how clothes are used to how they are made, computing power is changing the fashion industry. With the help of new technologies, designers can create designs that people have never seen before.

Technology is also changing popular fashion. The rise of social media(社交媒體) means it is not just designers who decide the latest looks in fashion. Artificial intelligence (人工智能)can now collect information from social media and the Internet to help designers understand what the public likes.

2.If you are interested in the smart jacket, you can buy one________.

Modern inventions make our life easier and more interesting than before. Let’s take a look at some inventions.

A new kind of enzyme(酶)

Scientists in Britain and the United States have found a new kind of enzyme that eats plastics. With its help, plastics can be turned into smaller parts and go away quickly. It can stop plastics from being burned everywhere. Scientists believe that it can solve the problem of plastic pollution in the future.

Social robot

Can robots talk to us like humans? Jibo, a robot made in US, can talk with you. The robot has a big, round head and a big body with no eyes or mouth. It uses animated icons (動(dòng)畫圖標(biāo)) to show emotions(情緒). It just seems like a real human. Right now, Jibo can only do some easy things, like taking photos and reading news to you. But it may learn to do new things in the future.

Spark

Spark is a new drone(無(wú)人駕駛飛機(jī)) made by a Chinese company in Shenzhen. It can help people take photos and videos. Spark might be the smallest drone ever made. When folded, it is as small as a Coke can. The coolest part is that users can control the small drone just by using hand gestures. For example, if you wave your hand from left to right, the drone will fly in the same way. When you want it to land you just put your hand out.

The drone will come to you and land on your hand.
