A Flexible bendable computer concept for the future was developed by scientist from Queen university, Ontario, Canada. this cool amazing flexible gadget has a touchscreen concept but the coolest things of this device is it didn't use any power!!, You can bend it, or even fold it into your pocket. This will be the world’s first interactive paper computer.
The invention of this Paperphone heralds a new generation of computers that are super lightweight, thin-film and flexible. They use no power when nobody is interacting with them. When users are reading, they don’t feel like they’re holding a sheet of glass or metal. It is based on a 3.7″ flexible electrophoretic (E Ink) display that does not consume electricity when it is not refreshed. Thinfilm sensors allow the phone to respond to bending of the screen to navigate pages in ebooks, play or pause mp3s, make phone calls, or navigate apps. A flexible wacom tablet allows users to draw on the screen with a pen as if it were a sheet of paper.
The prototype cost $7,000 for Queen's to make, but within a few years the school should have that number way down. The key to the future prosperity of this invention is that the price needs to come down low enough so that consumers and businesses will conceivably own multiple e-paper sheets of many sizes. They could utilize them to cover desks, office walls, and board room tables. To be sure, the possibilities in the institutional and corporate environments for this type of technology are immense.
