DAB,
I certainly don't find you antisocial here LOL. I do think the U.S. show "Big Bang Theory" is creating a geek love out there. I was thinking that superhero t-shirts definitely count as geek attire, at least with the younger ones.

Time to move on to one of my favorite questions for this discussion -- uses. We have touched on a few examples, but I'd like to show some of the products that I viewed at a recent wearable tech conference in NY
On the far left are 3D printed nails by Laser Girls. These two-toned beauties are being worn by both men and women, and the inventors believe 3D printers have opened up haute couture fashion to the masses. In the center are MindRider helmets. LED's built in the upper rim gather EEG feedback to show how focused a biker is. Not only does this help the user to become in touch with their own safety on the road, but it also helps to make clear which routes are less stressful. The creators offered a demo of their software that maps the results, and believe it may even be helpful in disaster locations. The final photo is Hanky Pancreas, a more fashionable way of carrying an insulin pump. Although it is the least technical, it shows the importance of accessories in the tech world. In this case, solving negative body image which leads to a healthier person.
Although my interest started in the finished product arena, I can now say that the manufacturing process is equally interesting. Things are changing for the consumer and the maker. What other interesting uses have you come across?
