We need a screen that expands/contracts! I can’t wait for flexible OLED screens, put a few sensors on it and you can fold and expose only a small part, or the whole thing and the OS responds and adjusts the display accordingly.
THAT would be slick!
When I started doing digital photography, a 240 MB IBM microdrive was well over $150. Now, an 8 gig smart card is $15 or so. It also went from mechanical parts to no moving parts. A lot of this article was over my head, but if I understood it correctly, manufacturing would be able to align molecules with different capacitive capabilities so that the device would be a single piece. Visually, the inside would look like a potato. Also, they believe you'll be able to have a 3d "printer" that will allow you to download and "print" a three dimensional electronic device.
It's hard for me to wrap my head around something like a flexible newspaper page that functions like a touchscreen, but that's probably where we're going.
I don't know how old you are, but I remember when Pong first came out. People would stand around and operate the dial just because it was so incredible to be able to manipulate what was going on on a television screen.
