Nowhere is safe from technology. Festival goers may have to put up with crowds, communal loos and a distinct lack of basic sanitation, however, they will no longer be out of touch with their mates back home.
Orange, being fully aware that green presents a huge marketing opportunity, has launched wellies which can recharge a mobile phone handset using a "power-generating" sole. Developed by renewable energy experts GotWind the wellies convert heat from the feet into an electrical current. And there will undoubtedly be plenty of hot feet!
SnapShop can see a couple of downsides: you’ll need to stomp your feet for 12 hours to power your phone for one hour and what if the festival mud is wellie-topping?!
