That way your world really ends"..

              do we really need a digital newspaper that looks like a real one? then what is the need of having online news in my laptop or even my mobile?

                religious fanatics and superstitious simpletons have said the same for millenia.... noones been right yet. why are you right? and why would a rational company buy into childlike dreamworlds? get a grip man seriously go get some fresh air and stop listening to your evangelical preacher. its unhealthy.

                      I feel this will be possible soon the 2019 cud be a very gud time scale. I rememba in 06 when I started in mobile de best was a V3 an D500. Now its an Iphone, G1 etc. Thats only 3 yrs an its a mind boggle with the way things have progressed. On this site u can c a sony ericsson (hopefully 2 c light of day) that is as thin as an Iphone has a touch screen but an 12megapixel camera an xenon flash!! wow. Also in consumer electronics how about oled or even the flexible oled thats the way forward an closest thing Ive seen to the nanotechnology of the Nokia Morph. Even the srface technology to me is immense. This is all here now maybe not globally and in consumers hands but it is there and working. So I believe yes it is viably possible for this to be here in 2019.

                                      Crazy, if it DOES happen, when the future generations look back at us, they must think we're like the Stone Age people or something.
