FashTech, the London-based startup that creates events around the intersection of fashion and technology, is hosting its inaugural London Summit this April.
The event, which will be spread over three days (13th-15th), aims to further the dialogue between fashion and technology – a dialogue that has already brought us many exciting developments and which is, and will continue, to have a very real impact on the world of fashion.
The modern consumer is an impatient creature. Whether it is information, food, entertainment, news and media, or fashion, we have come to expect instant gratification. But what are the implications of our preference for speed? And is fast always better than slow?
Understanding human communication requires a huge amount of flexibility. So can computers, which ultimately have their foundations in the strict rules of binary code, ever be programmed to communicate with humans in a truly natural way?
When computers first arrived, those that used them adopted the machines’ language. However, as information technology developed, a process known as abstraction allowed users to understand and operate computers at a far higher level. At these levels, commands could be given using mouses, touchpads, graphical interfaces, etc.
