Walking Sticks of the Future

I wonder how walking sticks might change in the future. When modern gadgets meet cane; what might the possibilities be?

This mind map explores a few of the many potential combinations that may create entirely new walking sticks. As the younger digital and technological generation’s age, might they expect more of a basic walking cane? Perhaps on the flipside, a solid and basic piece of wood unlikely to fail, might be a welcome and refreshingly reassuring “good enough already”?

Walking sticks of the future – will they explode into a vast array of gadget orientated “devices”, or stay the same?

What do you think?
