Reality has finally caught up with my dreams. Years ago I dreamed of how cool it would be to have flexible transparent electronic peel-offs. You would buy a sheet of 100 clear stickers. Peel one off and stick it on a fingernail - a timepiece for the day. Transparent except for the liquid crystal digits. Another sticker on another fingernail could be a compass. Another could be a temperature monitor, with not only numeric readouts but a color indicator (red for passion, natch). How about another sticker with a GPS read-out (this will take a few more years). How about a fingernail sticker that accepts broadcasts and delivers alerts or headlines (or cartoons). Pretty cool stuff.

* Electronic devices might be built into window glass or the windshield of a vehicle, allowing a range of new functions or the transmission of visual information.
That's what I was thinking.. Along the same lines as a HUD, I wonder what advances in eyewear this might bring?

RE #10
A window which changes colors at will ? We could have a artwork of everchanging images which is a large window glass. A real innovation in art form.

Or a real innovation in marketing.

Actually, they only claim to have invented invisible transisitors. They say nothing about the other main electronic components...the resistor, diode, capacitor...

Re #13
That will be the natural next step. You could go to a store for a new window and you will find a Coca-Cola window whose price is half of other windows. And it will display various Coke-commericals 24 hours a day.:)

Well, you just can't beat this fashion statement in eyewear

You're right..
Either outlaw tacky people or take this technology and destroy it, while we still have a culture left.
