I would think a lot of little modules connected by wires would work  
really
well, because you could sew them all into a sash-like contraption  
that would
conform to your body.  That would be a huge improvement compared to
wearing something more-or-less the shape of a brick, would it not?  
Besides,
the wires would be contained within the single container (except for  
I/O, of
course).
