If you still like to read the traditional newspaper rather than your computer screen, the internet and newspapers could converge with help from Nanotechnology.
This concept is related to 'Video Paper' in the sense that the Nanobots in the paper fibres and ink can rearrange their configuration to change the text and images on a page.
This textual and graphical information would be downloaded wirelessly via the internet to your newspaper. It can still look and feel like a traditional paper (possibly even with ink rubbing off on your fingers), but will be constantly changing. No more static images of that inferno on Main St. It would be a full color video. |
