I think the flexible communicators were completely Earth created. The Taelons did provide other cool tech, such as the "virtual glass" forcefields, instantaneous teleportation, and other stuff. I also dug those bioengineered Skrill weapons that were grafted onto the wrists of Protectors

With the newest Iphone plus what the flexible monitors offer we are already looking at that possible future. Now all we need are some friendly aliens to give us technology.

We are getting very close to a true, flexible, paper thin full computer that you can roll up like a sheet of paper and tuck in your pocket. Remember the series "Earth: Final Conflict"? They had handheld communication devices that consisted of a tubular part out of which one rolled a flexible material that was the video screen. It was pretty cool. Of course, if memory serves, they also showed all the communications being handled by MCI, so I guess not all the predictions will come true! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr. Worf" < hellomahog...@gmail.com > To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 6:35:40 AM Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] LG will Mass Produce 19 inch Flexible e-Paper and 9.7 inch Color E-paper by the end of 2010 The Delta version at the bottom has wifi or 3G connectivity so there is probably some processing power there. I'm not sure where they would put the cpu though. It is very cool and makes me think of the future.

AUGUST 30, 2010 LG will Mass Produce 19 inch Flexible e-Paper and 9.7 inch Color E-paper by the end of 2010 12 Share Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software Korean elecronics manufacturer LG, who makes the screens for the Apple iPad and Amazon Kindle, has revealed in SEC filings that they are continuing to break new ground with e-paper technology, moving forward with plans for both color and flexible models that will work with both e-readers and tablets. LG Display has developed the world's largest flexible electronic-paper screen measuring 25cm by 40cm, which translates into a 19-inch screen size. With 0.3mm thickness and 130g weight, it utilizes a metal foil instead of a traditional glass to make itself both flexible and durable. Delta Electronics of Taiwan Has a 13 Inch color eReader Screen Delta Electronics has a 13.1 inch display was developed in collaboration with Bridgestone and uses particle-based color e-paper technology rather than the e-Ink common in other e-Readers, or the LCD in tablets like the iPad. At around 730 grams (about half the weight of an iPad) it's probably lightweight enough to sling in a laptop bag or backpack and not impact too much on the already overburdened carrier. Delta Electronics is claiming a 6,000 page battery life, and 3G or WiFi connectivity. There's pen input for making notes, too. It was shown off at Computex and should be commercially available by Dec, 2010. If you liked this article, please give it a quick review on Reddit , or StumbleUpon .
