Forget smartwatches - in just five years time the next generation of Brit teenagers could be head-to-toe in AI-powered wearable tech, according to a new report. Scientist and leading futurist, Andrew Grill, claims that connected clothing will mean trainers will have the ability to'talk' to each other and collate style from other feet on the street. He believes that trainers could have a 5G-enabled chip built inside them, which will communicate to other people walking past.
