Too lazy to wander through the stores looking for a crisp white shirt to go
with your blue trousers? You need a smart wardrobe—the next big thing

colour of your clothes to its built-in computer. Ask it to find a shirt to match
your trousers and the computer gets busy, searching online stores until it finds
one. The results show up on the wardrobe’s touchscreen.
