Portable electronics have become pervasive in today's life,a and wireless technology now connects devices one to another and people to the rest of the world without the need for a stable basis such as the old desktop computer connected to the phone cable. But we are still not completely free from "cable slavery." Each portable electronic device requires periodical connections to a power plug for battery re charge. Small, flexible photovoltaic cells integrated in clothing can overcome this limitation, cutting the last cable that connects us to the ground.
