Yet, with the new advancements by Fujitsu, NEC and Sony the newer flexible papers may replace your outdated Kin-pod. Those trees you like the idea of may be reserved only for the post-consumer waste mash-up that is shredded as the vessel for your latte. Printed each time you press the HOME, NEXT PAGE or PREV PAGE, the e-ink re-draws for you by the magic power of physics the lines in your favorite Michael Crichton novel or maybe even a sizzling Danielle Steele print. <br /> It is within these 10.2 ounces that you may find the ability to read practically anything you may find the time to email to your kindle address. Not only a tablet for the dry-eyed, it is ubiquitous computing at it’s earliest. While the early adopters of the iphone and ipods may seem like “fanbois”, the buyers of this technology propel the research and demand into a more foreseeable future of innovation. Yes more like your tactile past that the printed book provides, we will see flexible readers in our day. Then the only thing that is missing is the cover and the conversation you may have with yourself on the bus about why that bloke in front of you is reading a baby sitters club novel. <br /> The future as a cold and unfeeling place is rooted in the same shock our ancestors took as a burden from “modernization.” It is a similar “devilry” of innovation and production which brought us the car, plane and the flux capacitor. It is quite possible that more attention will be paid to the content of the book in this new “unfeeling”, “cold” “metallic” future. The “progress of ideas” shall not be held back by the same fear of the future which produced such films as mad max, a.i. and minority report. It is this same sort of paranoia which kept books as hand-written manuscripts copied onto baby mammal skin (vellum). <br /><br />- Signed, <br /><br />NarwhalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
