Paper Phones.
According to reports, these smart phones are ultra-thin, light weight and flexible just like paper. So if dialling phones have long been relegated as antique, pressing buttons and touch screen may be passé, as claimed by the researchers. The commands in the paper phone are made by bending its corners or folding its edges. It has in-built sensors to read the commands when its edges are bent in different ways. Moreover its flexibility ensures that this snugly fits into your pocket.
The paperless office may eventually be a reality as everything could be stored digitally and just as we keep the papers stacked on top of each other, these paper thin computers could be kept that way.
As one draws on a sheet of paper one could do the same on the screen and could even toss it over to someone’s desk.
"The paperless office is here. Everything can be stored digitally and you can place these computers on top of each other just like a stack of paper, or throw them around the desk," says Roel Vertegaal who is director of University Human Media Lab at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada.
He adds that this innovative technology would be very much evident in all walks of life within five years.
