Happy days @worldsfairnano! Thank you to @Sensoree for creating the most fabulous #moodsweater! Everyone can tell what a great time we had ;)

The Mood Sweater acts like a mood ring, giving a new way of understanding ourselves and our emotions better and a new way of communicating through our clothing choices.

            Kristin Neidlinger, the founder of the company that created the sweater, Sensoree, claims that the technology has the potential to improve interpersonal communication. Of course the technology will improve the communication of the true feelings of individuals, however, it is debatable as to whether or not the sweater would improve communication as a whole. In fact, the sweater could actually pose more of a risk for increased conflict as opposed to helping the communication process. This is because sometimes there is a good reason for hiding one’s emotions. For example, if an individual is talking to their boss and they become angry about something while wearing the sweater, their boss will see that they are angry which could create a conflict. In this case, the sweater does not truly aid in communication. So while the mood sweater is an interesting development, it probably isn’t the best item of clothing to add to your everyday wardrobe.
