If you enjoy being mugged that is. Of coarse a way around that problem would be to equip this goofy high tech umbrella featured below with a built in James Bond Style 10 shot 9 mm functional gun. While they're at it, maybe they can add a self destruct mode that can be activated from your cell phone, just as the mugger makes his way down the street with your fancy internet umbrella the first time you take it out in the rain on the streets of most any major city in America sadly nowadays.
Isn't this just what society needs?, an internet ready umbrella that displays photo slideshows and internet information for the folks out there that have a propensity to get lost while walking around in the rain, and yet somehow manage to earn a comfortable enough living to be able to afford such a contraption.
What's next for the ever growing lazy, already preoccupied gadget addicted population, a device that reminds the forgetful to take their next breath in between Vioxx and Viagra if their blackberry battery dies?

Watch slide-shows on the umbrella which will stop you getting lost
the Daily Mail: "Rainy days will never seem as dull again thanks to a new internet umbrella.
The high-tech brolly allows you to take pictures with a built-in camera. These can be uploaded to Flickr (a photo-sharing website) via a wireless internet connection and within two minutes you can watch downloaded photo-streams on your umbrella screen with a simple wrist-snapping movement."invented in Tokyo (where else?) the Pileus umbrella also has GPS and a digital compass, which uses Google Earth to help you navigate yourself around the world. They are working on incorporating a video camera as well.The project started out as academic research at Keio University in Spring 2006, but now Pileus LLC is keen to make it a money-spinning venture. No word yet on how much the umbrella would cost, but it is likely to be very expensive.
Just don't leave it on the tube.
Or like I said watch out for the muggers following you off the tube to steal the thing from you just like they do every other high tech gadget the crooks and muggers can't afford or don't wanna work to buy for themselves.
