tell me about it!

...rain or shine

We're getting more and more used to objects communicating with us via intelligent technology. Even more, we're welcoming them in our lives - and that should be the case with the Forecast umbrella, too. By using WiFi technology, this friendly umbrella wirelessly gets info from the Internet and prepares to tell you if it's going to rain or not.
Just look at it on your way out and see if the handle illuminates - this is a sign of clouds gathering by. Isn't that a smart easy way to know your weather?
