Stinking Socks - Nanotechnology to the rescue

I was watching the CNN-IBN news channel when I came across the piece of news that a set of professors and students at IIT Delhi have found out a way by which the socks will not stink after its worn for few minutes or hours and removed. It seems that nanotecchnology, the much acclaimed invention can be applied to manufacture socks that will not at all stink even after days of wearing.

The use of it in socks is certainly interesting. This will be a boon for people who wants to dress smart, but lazy to wash even their socks every day. I sincerely hope that nanotechnology doesn't make even the active people to get into the laziest of habits of not even bothering to wash their socks regardless of whether they wash their dirty linen in public :-)

Technology is definitely making the man lazier by the day.

Anyways, any idea as to when Nanotechnology is going to be implemented in live production of socks?

Jus another lazy human who does not wash his socks daily.. ;)

when Nanotechnology comes into picture ensure that you get *rid* of not only dirt but also your detergent based stocks -:D
