Shanken pg 120-140

On page 126, artist Steve Mann presents his piece called WearComp, which shows his idea of a wearable computer. I think that this is already starting to become a reality as seen with something like google glass. I thinks it's impressive when an artists experiment with random custom made gadgets and innovates a potential gadget for the future. Something that Shanken mentions about Mann's piece really got me thinking. He he says that something like WearComp could help the blind (126). Now that is awesome, an artist that can help others while creating art at the same time is cool. Mann's intention was probably not to help the blind, but still, his experimentation as an artist can impact the life of others in a helpful way.
