I was thinking recently about technology that's been changed or updated in an attempt to "go green". Paper is something that people use every single day. It's also a an invention that's largely discussed because of the amount of trees and forests that get cut down just to make paper.
But that may all change some day very soon. LG Philips announced a sheet of electronic paper a few years ago. It looks just like a sheet of paper, except the image on the sheet can be changed at anytime.
Don't believe me? Check it out this blog post for yourself.
That is some crazy tech. It will be interesting to see who they market this to. Since it uses battery to change the images on the page, constant alteration is out the window. But if it can be produced cheaply (highly doubtful) I could see the magazine racks at grocery stores being replaced with one page magazines that have all the pages stored within this new 'paper' for readers to sift through.
