Looks like Dyson-Electrolux are looking at the possibility of vacuum shoes. These are shoes that you can wear around the house that will literally vacuum your floor as you walk on it.
I hesitate to say "what will they think of next?" Personally, I'm the type who might say "why hasn't someone thought of this already?" Unfortunately, this vacuum shoe is only in the development stage right now. I can't help but wonder where the dirt will be stored. I mean, it's not like the contraption has any obvious attached bag or anything. Maybe it puts all the dirt in your sock. It's not like your socks ever stay clean anyway.
Also, I can't help but wonder if these vacuum shoes will be motorized? One of the reasons I put off my vacuuming is because I can't stand the sound of it blaring through the house. I wouldn't want to wear this horrendous noise while I'm walking around the house all the time. How could I hear the TV?
And another thing: am I going to feel the vacuum power? I would hate it if the shoes sucked so much that I couldn't lift my legs from the floor. (It was really hard not to make "suck" jokes about these shoes, especially when their color well...sucks.) If they do work like that, then maybe they should sell these shoes to NASA's anti-gravity training program as the new magnetic boots. If they sucked real bad, maybe you could walk on walls.
Wait, I know! Maybe they should be in the next James Bond movie. I can see it now: the bad guy has bond at gunpoint, when all of a sudden, Bond lifts up his foot, turns on the vacuum power, and the man's gun is suddenly sucked onto Bond's heel. On second thought, he should probably use a magnet.
