Well he is an electrician. I'm not sure if that makes it any better really. -
It does, actually. Explains a lot. Much better than just being someone who gets happy over licking electrical outlets.Originally posted by Leader

Still, an electrician who gets electrocuted all the time? Confed?Originally posted by TopHatsLiberalIt does, actually. Explains a lot. Much better than just being someone who gets happy over licking electrical outlets.

I cant afford this watch anyway...., the sun and moon shall tell me the time, they can keep their ultra modern so called watch unless they reduce the price.
and if there is no Moon, I'll look at the stars.
No stars ? I'll ask my neighbour!

The first watch that uses flexible e-paper hits the stores
The Japanese company Seiko will release a limited edition of 500 units of their Spectrum SVRD001, the first watch in the world that uses flexible e-paper or Electrophoretic Display (EPD). The design of the watch is similar to a bracelet and the body is made of stainless steel and a black & white e-paper

Take an LED display such as is currently coming out as computer monitors and tv sets. Make the resolution much better. (not yet achieved but will be within the next six months) take that LED display and make it as thin as a sheet of paper. Build a computer into it that is part of the thickness of paper. Also make it flexible (as in you can fold it up) and make it shape remembering. (it doesn't crease and lays itself flat when you put it on the table.)Originally posted by TopHatsLiberal
Want to read the paper? Call up the Boston Snitchet on-line (it is of course wireless) and away you go.
Want to send an email? It is of course a touchscreen so you don't need a keyboard, though a pen (as in pen and tablet) is recommended.
Want to watch TV? Dial up your favourite channel and blue tack it to the wall. (yes, vibrating crystals do provide nice sound).
Gone out in the sun without a hat? Fold it up the way you used to make pirate hats when you were a child but get it to play mp3s to you at the same time. (if you have really bad taste you could get it to play those skin colour themes that real player et al do in time to the music)
All of the components are there, nobody is putting it together yet but they will soon, bless them. E-paper. It already has its own name.
In other words, in about five years imagine everything you have in your computer being only the 2 dimensional screen surface you see in front of you, with all the hard lumpy bits gone.In the realm of spirit, seek clarity; in the material world, seek utility.
