My wonder: why wasn’t nobody thinking about this till now?
Yanko Design tell us that 70% of people don’t read the care labels and when they do, it’s usually too late.
So, designer Samgmin Bae create Smart Clothing Care Labels a concept which might make caring for clothes a lot easier.
RFID technology the tags can communicate with RFID enabled washers, dryers, irons, presses, and dry cleaning equipment. Settings are automatically adjusted (I just love this idea). You do nothing out of the ordinary. Just load your clothes, add detergent, and shut the lid. The tag itself is cleverly designed to use the RFID circuitry to form the care icons we’re all used to.
PCNews Verdict: 10/10 Save me 5 seconds to reading labels and 5 minutes to set up the washers? No doubt that this concept deserve GOLD Award from pcnews!

That’s a pretty cool innovation, might help me a lot! I’ve got two left hands when it comes to washing clothes…
Not a good idea. a) mixed laundry items will screw it up. Plus, I think the number one rule with technology is that it has to act predicatably for users. Nothing is more frustrating than a machine having a life of its own. The invention assumes people don’t read the care labels and so the inventor will expect that the machine to respond in ways that the users don’t anticipate – the only way for them to make sense of what there machine is doing is if they know what the care label is – which the inventor is assume they won’t do.
