Smart textiles / Cookies


Smart textiles first were a thing in the early 1980s when researchers began exploring ways to integrate electronics into fabrics. The first  available smart textile products came in the late 1990s and early 2000s, with companies like Philips and Nike leading the way with products such as the Philips Luminous Fabric and Nike+ running shoes. Since then, smart textiles have continued to evolve, with advances in nanotechnology and wearable technology driving further innovation in the field.

Cookies, on the other hand, have a more recent history. The term "cookie" started by web developer Lou Montulli in 1994, and since then, cookies have become an important part of online advertising and user experience. While cookies have faced criticism for their potential privacy problems, they have also enabled companies to deliver personalised content and recommendations to users, leading to increased engagement and revenue.

The impact of smart textiles and cookies is complicated. Smart textiles have the potential to revolutionise industries such as healthcare, sports, and fashion, by enabling new functionalities such as biometric monitoring, temperature regulation, and augmented reality experiences. Cookies, on the other hand, have transformed the way that companies approach online advertising and data collection, by allowing for targeted marketing campaigns and personalised user experiences
