A topic to post miscellaneous new technology and other things for the future.

Source and full report.

A colour e-reader that supports video and potentially web browsing has been shown off by Dutch researchers.

The prototype uses screen technology - based on century-old science - that its makers say is up to four times more energy efficient than LCD screens.

Once established in the e-reader market, Dutch firm Liquavista hope to see its displays integrated into other devices in the future.

But analysts question whether consumers will be enticed by the greener gadgets.

Liquavista said it expects the first e-readers using the "electrowetting" technology to be available by the middle of 2011 and the technology to then become more widespread.

"You certainly could see this technology in your smartphone, in your mobile phone, in your web tablet, in your PC, in your notebook," said Guy Demuynck, head of the firm.

"But eventually you could see it in your home as your television screen in your living room," he added

In 1978, Raymond Baxter promised me that by the time I was 30 all jobs would be done by robots and my biggest problem would be working out what to do with all my free time.

Raymond Baxter is a cunt. Or at least he was until he died.

Or when hovercrafts were created (late 60's) and they said that everyone would have one within the next 10 years
