Talk:Clothing


 * It is my personal opinion that clothing will become decorative more than necessary at about the time that we start to populate archologies, space stations, and extraterrestial colonies. I think that nudity will not be a taboo in the future and that people will wear random pieces of clothing just for the fun of it.  I thought I should see what other people think before I post it.  I won't delete anything just add a section to the bottom. Glorfon

Glorfon: The clothing page is a factual page. The images and links are actual designs which have been made. If you want to place your thoughts on future clothing on a future's page it could be on a scenario about changes in society and taboos, possibly link to it from this page. What makes a scenario interesting is the thinking behind it. For me you'd need to more convincingly relate the changes in environment to changes in behaviour. I'd like to understand how society would change with a change to environment. JC 16:33, 17 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, there were several ideas to the thought behind it. First off the need for coverage in society has been trending downwards for along time.  The tread first really became apparent in the 1920's.  Secondly, the original creation of clothes was promted by a need to protect ourselves from the elements.  When people begin to live large portions of their live inside a single building there will be no need to protect ourselves from the weather.  This explains why they would fade from use, my third point explains why people would still wear them decoratively.  In areas like africa and the southern regions of america the indiginous people did not need clothing as the weather presented few chanlenges so they wore minimal clothes and they would also wear decorative body paint and garments for celebrations and battles.  While this was frequently done for spiritual purposes the point still remains that people will wear cloths not for modesty but for decoration.
