Loading... WiFi umberella anyone?
WiFi is everywhere, literally, so just take a look at this hi-tech brolly by Pileus. Invented in Tokyo,no…never,it boasts a built in camera and soon to be video camera.
Fancy taking a few photos en route to your destination? Well, they can be uploaded in minutes wirelessly to Flikcr and da daaaaa you can watch the photo-streams on your brolly screen with the flick of a wrist! Craziness, but really a) why would you want to do this and b) what happens if it’s raining?
It also has, wait for it, GPS and a digital compass which uses Google Earth to help you get around, quite impressive and also a bit of fun, i suppose?!

Ok on my list of things I manage to break so easily, brolly is my number one thing I swear.
What happens when it’s all windy and you see all those people whose brollys end up turned inside out….Crazyness.
It’s cool but I think whoever designed it needs to rethink haha. (Although I have to admit I am curious to see how it all works…..)
