It has been a long time since the humble umbrella underwent any sort of changes, but that is about to change (sic). Chinese developers have come up with a simple device called the air umbrella, which uses blown air to create a canopy of air which pushes the rain away. It is so simple it is brilliant. They recently run a kickstarter funding campaign which was 10 times over subscribed and will go into production next year.
