“Digital paper” and “sushi” computers will become business realities after this decade is over. An entirely new form of electronic exotica is waiting in the wings—devices that resemble paper but behave like computers. Imagine a sheet of paper that behaves like a pen-based PC, and you begin to come close to this extravagant vision. One Japanese researcher nicknames these “sushi computers” in the belief that they will be as flexible as a piece of nori, and easily rolled into a scroll. Implicit in this vision is the assumption that these new devices will take many forms. Some will even approach the cost of paper itself. The result may be a business world of disposable computers with sizes and costs comparable to Post-It pads.

Whoa, mama!!

Hmm....not what you were expecting?
