Ps: You sound like the wannabe youth in my country, who fancy themselves enlightened and mature.Years of sheltered growing up till one becomes a manchild/womanchild does this with human minds.

@Jesus:
I am the next stage of evolution.

Ps: The rest of your post is p.c garbage.

It feels so good to simplify and point fingers.You can keep the irony of this post.Greed blabla.

And btw, the sources you are talking about are not(!) inexhaustible.Maybe you want to look up that word?

hahahahahahahahah dream on /// “next stage of human evolution” … like what? you’re going to tell me you don’t believe greed is the most powerful motivating factor? imprecise and inefficient though it may be? why, we might not have WAR without greed. Might not have poverty either. Meanwhile, there’s an inexhaustible, constantly renewed supply of petroleum and other hyrdocarbons lurking deep in the earth’s crust. We’ve only tapped the smallest fraction so far. Why else would the oil companies buy up all the deep drilling rights all over the East Coast …. 35 years ago?

There already IS such thin, foldable material. It’s called PAPER! (LOL)

Ever try to put an ipad in your pocket (a “normal” pocket)?

“…without the needs of greedy corrupt government/corporate power structures getting in the way.”
If “we the people” chose to restrict government to keeping the peace & enforcing contracts rather than engaging in a multi-trillion dollar attempt at social engineering, many problems, most of them created by government (i.e. we the people), would vanish and much positive progress could be attained.

Don’t worry, The Internet, you just need to visit this website more often. Maybe you missed the article about the printable, flexible, carbon solar cells that will be painted all over your car one day. With cheap, efficient carbon solar cells we won’t need to keep sucking Earth’s oiled blood source. When you have enough cheap electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, you can get off the teat. This newsletter has already published articles about research into new hydrides that will give you the fuel tanks for your hydrogen powered automobiles. The editor here, Amara Angelica, is always busy hunting up the latest news about new developments in the quest for the new fire of the hydrogen economy.

Don’t worry about breathing them in, Vin. They’ll be programmed to cure your lung cancer then use their flagella to swim out with your sputum. Of course this means your holo-deck will need a spittoon where you can hawk up a loogey of nanocells for recycling. They’ll just need to take a shower and dry off.

All my life (I was born in 1958) I have had a dream, perhaps once a year. I am reading the comics in the paper, and one of the panels is animated…a moving picture in a newspaper. I always think “Hey, I’ve heard of theis new thing, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen it. I wonder how they do it!”. Maybe my dream will soon come true!

I am expecting this technoly to be deployed around the end of this decade..if no dissaster occurs of course.

10-20 years? That freaking long? Is it just me or does it feel like technology has reached some sort of standstill? If I remember correctly…. we need to either create a utopia by 2100 or get the hell off this planet… at this rate we’re not going to make it. The fact that we’re still sucking the Earth’s oiled blood source to fuel our vehicles is pathetic, and we’re barely seeing signs of progression to move beyond that.

Humanity seriously needs to come together and construct the next stage of human evolution without the needs of greedy corrupt government/corporate power structures getting in the way.

Even if a screen is rollable, how does that make it more portable? Ever try putting a long, rolled tube in your pocket?

That’s funny to think about. How many such gnats would you need to fill an average sized living room to give retina display level resolution? I wonder if it would be as dangerous as asbestos dust :D. Anyway beats counting angels on pins and suchlike I guess.

Right Bri, in ten to twenty years we should have nano gnats that fly in a foglet to give you a 3D VR game like Halo XIX that lets you fight bug-eyed monsters in a living room that has become the Holo-deck of the Enterprise.

I think the ten to twenty year time frame is crazy. I would hope that we could have VR screens in that time frame.

@starnois and @snake0,
It’s full color, NO pixel borders, and cheap to manufacture – i’d call it news! :)

There are youtube vids of this technology dated back in 2006. How is this news?

Huh? Haven’t protoypes of foldable screens made of graphene been doing the rounds at trade shows for some time now?
