““The invention of “electronic ink” is just around the corner. This invention will enable the use of flexible paper-like devices to display electronic texts, thereby resolving the issue of using cumbersome, bulky electronic devices such as laptops and PDAs. Some day not so far in the future you will be able to carry around a newspaper in your briefcase that constantly updates itself wirelessly via the Internet. You will be able to carry a small “book” in your book bag that can call up the text not only for all of your classes in school, but also every book ever published (or at least digitized). Imagine—the entire Library of Congress in your book bag.””
