The Future Is Now!!!

Not much has been going on today in the newsroom, only brief excitement as a plane that took off from Dulles airport to Bejing, China had to make a return when an engine gave out; however, I found a story about a new piece of technology being developed in Japan.

It is a television screen that is .3mm thin and can actually bend and not be broken. The future is here ladies and gentleman. Movies like Minority Report made us think about future technology and what we might be capable of, but this is just insane.

Sony plan to make this bendable screen by the end of the year available in an 11 inch format. They have also said that it is so durable that it could be used on t-shirts in the future. "In the future, it could get wrapped around a lamppost or a person's wrist, even worn as clothing," suggests Sony spokesman Chisato Kitsukawa. "Perhaps it can be put up like wallpaper."

I am just absolutely amazed by this. No it is not an earth-shattering discovery and it won't cure AIDS, but holy shit it is a razor-thin screen that won't break!
