[SIGCIS-Members] 1986 computer shoe

[M. Hicks]

Thought this might be interesting--or at least amusing--to folks on this list: a computerized running shoe I saw this weekend at Toronto's Bata Shoe Museum. It reminded me of all the current self-improvement consumer technologies we have now like Fitbit, etc., and what a long lineage they have. (Alex Bochannek tells me they also have a pair of these at CHM.) Pics attached.
