This is another "Lucky to have my job" moment. I just read a paper about a project which enables knitters to record photos,videos and locations and associate them with parts of the garment (via a smart phone). The evaluation is really moving. It's one of these projects where the technology really enhances what it is to be a human. Can't you just imagine knitting something for a baby and including lots of stories and memories in it for them to look back on when they are older?
