A prototype flexible smartphone made of electronic paper has been created by Canadian researchers.


The PaperPhone can do all the things bulkier smartphones can do such as make and take calls, send messages, play music or display e-books.


The gadget triggers different functions and features when bent, folded and flexed at its corners or sides.

First a £15 miniscule computer and now a mobile phone which is like paper


It will be around 5 years though before this is available but still amazing nonetheless.

Technology is getting so tiny these days will all soon need microscopes to find our gadgets.

It won't be long before our cellphones will look like a piece of sellotape stuck to the side of our faces.

More and more I am beginning to understand why there is little if not zero evidence of an advanced culture like our own that has lived on earth like ourselves.

The reason is as we become more advanced, and green, we become more biodegradable, so to speak. Maybe this is why Georgia guide stones and the Pyramids are built from stone.

Guide stones, Rosetta stones etc... This all makes me wonder why we regard the 'stone' age to be the stuff of child's play and infancy of human development.

Wow, now that is pretty cool. I can think of alot more ways to use this tech. Could you imagine a TV that thin, or even interactive school books. Seems like it should be very cheap to produce before too long.
