Paper Capable Of Playing Videos Developed

Makarand writes "Nature has posted an article describing paper capable of displaying video using rearrangeable electronic ink, being produced by Philips Research Labs (in the Netherlands). The paper-display draws power from a lightweight battery, and displays data stored in a portable chip. The display consists of pixels containing a drop of colored ink that can spread over a reflective white background under electrical control to create colors. With fast switching times and lower switching voltages, these paper-displays are capable of displaying video images."

What is "smart"?

[Steeltoe]

You forgot to mention there are many people that simply are tired of prepackaged/regurgitated news, packaging, advertising, telemarketing, pop-ups, spam, artificial food, TV, schools, politicians, corporations, governments, etc, etc.

I consider those people who are logging out of the asylum that the current society is, to be the smartest. You're in to something when you say human beings are not really made for living like we do. It's just a matter of time and escalation before the masses realizes this too.

Being smart or not, has nothing to do with it. Nor does "coping" with it. It's a sign of strength to stamp down your feet and say "enough's enough" and seek an alternative living, even if you're tired. It's when you're just learning to "cope" with it, go with the program, I'd consider that person a zombie- or a sleepwalker, until he/she wakes up.
