Technology is a great thing and has improved things such as speed and cost. Particularly in fashion it has allowed us to mass produce products, have them made quicker so they can be in the stores quicker and made acurately and precicely. Technological improvements in the last forty years included improved fabric technology and automated garment construction techniques. As the technology gets better we get better products. Such as the development of new fabrics for example, coolmax which has effective moisture managment properties so therefor keeps the body dry. Technology does take away the art of making clothing from scratch and i am more of a practical person rather than having to sit at a computer all day.
