Bendable TV Screens: LG Philips is Making Sci-Fi Dreams a Reality

In South Korea, researchers have developed a paper-thin digital display. Dubbed “E-paper,” this 14.1 inch sized screen can show several color images and only uses power to cycle through them. The images even appear sharp when the screen is bent.
Granted, they’re still a ways away, but the next step of evolution has got to be video (the images just have to interlace and change much faster). This will probably take a decade or so, but once this technology becomes so cheap and affordable that anyone can get it, there could be some drastic changes in the way we get our entertainment and media. Personally, I’m hoping for all-digital newspapers like in Minority Report.
In other news, books will most likely be replaced in the future with short movie adaptations. School test scores will plummet.
