The world’s very first smart umbrella is named Jonas, and he’s truly smart: he gives you weather updates as you step out of the house, and he also ensures you’d never lose him. Developed by digital accessories company Fantastick, Jonas can accomplish a host of tasks: he can give you weather data for seven days from Yahoo! Weather if you sync your phone with an application he supports – called JONAS; he can give you daily forecast by LED colouring at the front of your door, when you want to step out, and best of all— he can send alerts to your phone if you forget him somewhere. The umbrella sends you the last location, directing you to him. And if you still can’t find it, the helpful little guy will go ahead give you a cal— by just shaking himself! Jonas is create with ultra-light aluminium and unbreakable fibre glass ribs, dressed in pongee fabric, and you can choose from a range of vibrant colours. Underneath the cap lie 4 AAA batteries and 3 colour LED, Bluetooth 4.2 and a gravity sensor, and he’s also yours for $105. That’s one smart umbrella!
