While reading Warlick, E-ink stood out so I did some digging. I hope this is as new to me as it is to you.
E-ink is a form of electronic paper that is to used to cut down on the eye strain that is caused by the back lighting of most computer screen, it has the appearance of ink on paper. The interesting thing about this is the pixels do not need a constant power supply to retain the image and can hold and that angle of the incoming light does not affect the quality of what is on "the screen"
That was not what I thought it was at all, but I did learn that there are thin leafy sheet available out there called digital paper which can be used with a specific pen to write out digital documents. If this in not a step in the direction of the Warlick intro then I do not know what is.

Very interesting, yet very confusing. I guess I'm a little lost as to exactly what it does. It sounds like it will eventually be a great use of technology since computers are huge in everyone's lives, yet when you think about it somewhat dangerous to our eyesight depending on how long you sit at a computer.
I agree with Ashley, I don't know what use this is really going to be in the future. It was really good that you looked it up a little bit more though to figure it out and that it may help our eyesight in the future which would be nice!
How fascinating Jo. How does it work--I'm in Ashley's camp here.
