Electronic Paper's Past and Future

Posted by kdawson on from the updating-in-your-pocket dept.

Iddo Genuth sends us to TFOT for his extended series of interviews around the question of how electronic paper will change our lives in the next few years. The article leads off with the "father of e-paper," Nick Sheridon, who came up with the idea almost 35 years ago at Xerox PARC, and goes on to explore how e-paper may evolve past its current incarnations in the likes of the Sony Reader.

    A: It has already started but will become a real mass market in about 2012.
