From:Inhabitat : WIFI UMBRELLA

"Chicago design group Materious has designed an interactive umbrella called Forecast which uses Wifi to get up-to-date weather information, and then glows to alert you when its going to rain. If your umbrella isn't glowing, no need to worry - but if the handle is pulsing blue, its the umbrella's way of saying 'take me with you, it's going to be a soggy day' "
