Security and wearable animals
A number of years ago, wearable technology looked set to become all the rage.
Mention of it has declined noticeably in recent years. When, for instance, was the last time you heard of or encountered, say, Google Glass?
On the other hand, wearable animals – or parts of animals – have a history that extends back into prehistory, in particular that epoch known as the Palaeolithic, the longest period in human history.
Nevertheless, the manners in which animals or their parts have been used have adapted over the millennia in response to technological changes and development.
A recent example of such an adaptation is shown below. It cropped up in your correspondent’s social media timeline today, although a reverse image search indicates it might have originated a couple of years ago.
