Wi-Fi Detector Shirt: The Ultimate Geek Apparel

Who said that geeks are not lazy? With the convenience that technology offers, it is not a surprise that technophiles tend to get a bit, well, laid back when it comes to expending energy. Here is a perfect example: the Wi-Fi detector shirt.

Wi-Fi is one of the Tech god’s greatest gift to mankind. Seriously, because of Wi-Fi, you can stay connected anywhere you go without the hassle of physically plugging wires in. As long as you are in a Wi-Fi hotspot, you are good to go.

Then again, how would you know if your location has a good Wi-Fi signal? You flip your laptop open, turn it on, and search for a signal. Same thing goes for your phone, your iPod Touch, or any other mobile device that connects via Wi-Fi. But this is so much of a hassle sometimes, isn’t it? Why would you subject yourself to waving your gadget around to find the strongest Wi-Fi signal in the area when you can merely wear a shirt that will tell you where the signal is good?

That’s what the Wi-Fi shirt is for. It has glowing bars printed on it – bars that change dynamically with the Wi-Fi signal. Now there is no need for you to conspicuously search for a signal with your device – you just have to walk around in a leisurely manner and glance at the bars every now and then. And the biggest reward? You will gain the respect of all the geeks around you!

The Wi-Fi shirt is now on sale at Gadgets.co.uk for £19.95.
