Computers in the Textile Industry Many businesses in the textile industry are using advancements in computer technology to aid in designing and manufacturing textiles. Department stores and companies selling clothing online also use technology to show consumers how various articles of clothing will fit or how they will match other garments. Form a team of three people to report on ways they see computers changing the textile industry. Each team member should visit local malls and Web sites and record at least three ways that computers have improved the industry. Compile the findings and then submit a brief report to your instructor.
