Ink Breakthrough Heralds Bendy PC Screens 140
An anonymous reader writes "Researchers claim to have developed a type of soluble semiconductor ink which could help to make bendable computer screens a reality. Developed at Polyera and BASF Future Business, the ink carries an N-Type negative charge. Previously, semiconductor inks have only been able to carry a positive charge. The new ink can be printed onto any flexible material, including plastic and paper, using only a modified ink-jet printer."

... imagine touching a hyperlink with your finger on a page to read more about an article ... with a "more" link at the bottom of each article.
And readers can comment on each article, and rate one another's comments up or down, and label them as Interesting, Insightful, etc.
Now do you see how this could be used?
Not really. Who's going to use such features?
