The Disposable Computer

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the humble-beginnings dept.

sp00 writes "A disposable paperboard computer has been developed and is already in use in Sweden. Developed by Cypak AB, the paperboard computer can collect, process, and exchange several pages of encrypted data, the company says." Pretty impressive, given that they say it has a mere 32K of memory.

    How do they read a cardboard monitor? In fact, how do they write to it?

    We used to run an entire company on a computer with 32K.

    32K!!!? We would've been happy to have 32K! We had to get up at 3 o'clock in the morning, one hour before we went to bed, have a fist full of gravel for breakfast and flash our 2K clean by licking it, byte by byte. 32K! Ha! Luxury!
