protection from the elements and can enhance safety during hazardous activities such as hiking and
cooking. It protects the wearer from rough surfaces, rash-causing plants, insect bites, splinters,
thoms, and prickles, by providing a bamer between the skin and the environment. Clothes can
insulate against cold or hot conditions. Furthermore, they can provide a hygienic bamier, keeping
infectious and toxic materials away from the body. Clothing also protects us from harmful UV
radiation.
So what is the future of clothing? The world of clothing is always changing, as new cultural
influences meet technological innovations. Researchers in scientific labs have been developing
prototypes for fabrics that can serve functional purposes well beyond their traditional roles; for
example, clothes that can automatically adjust their temperature, repel bullets, project images, and
even generate electricity. Researchers are, in addition, working on creating textiles with designer
bacteria that survive off 'dead' skin and sweat, reducing the need to wash clothes. Such bacteria
could also be used to create bioluminescent fabrics. Some practical advances already available to
consumers are bullet-resistant garments, made with Kevlar and stain-resistant fabrics that are
coated with chemical mixtures that reduce the absorption of liquids.
