Like something out of a James Bond flick, these hair extensions can remotely control electronic devices!!

Another one on my list of unnecessary inventions is what, creator Katia Vega, refers to as Hairware. As the topic suggests, this piece of technology is basically hair extension with sensors, which senses when the extension is being touched and subsequently, runs a predefined instruction on a smartphone via Bluetooth. The more I think about this, is the more I ask myself, "why was this thing even created?" I understand the possible need of something of this sort in times of emergencies, but there already exist such devices such as the button. Now, anybody can press a button on their clothing to, probably call 911, but in order for this Hairware to work, it requires that the user has long hair, of similar texture and color as the extension. Furthermore, do not even forget the number of unintentional 911 calls, or maybe even unintentional selfies that an average user would carry out by the many involuntary strokes of the hair that practically everyone with long hair does. This so-called innovation, in my opinion, would be a disaster.
