Paper Electronic

Now that is just way too cool. Basically a wireless monitor that requires no power, is flexible, that you can download text, images, ect. I have no idea how long it is going to take to reach the consumer level but, if they expect the commercial version out with the next 18 month we can expect no more than two years after it's release to have it on the shelf at Wal-Mart marked clearance. I find this really quite awesome. This means we can cut down on out deforestation tremendously. This is a really good thing. But it also means we are putting possibly thousands of people that work at paper mills around the country out of work. Technology is a wonderful thing, I just hate that so many people are effected by new means of automation.
