Paper Computers

Researchers at ASU, including Win Burleson and Byron Lahey, have developed a revolutionary new flexible paper computer.  The paper computer uses a flexible E Ink display and the prototype they made is of a smart phone.  The flexible display allows for many gestures that aren't possible on a rigid device.  For example, the corners can be bent to flip a page or the entire screen can be bent in or out to zoom a page.

If the technology is refined a little more, it could be truly revolutionary.  Flexible screens can be put in clothes, appliances, phones, and just about anywhere else.
