Such devices could one day be used to map brain activity, or even stimulate activity to help treat people with disorders such as Parkinson's disease, scientists added. Traditional electronics are rigid, but inventors have recently developed flexible and stretchable electronics. These new devices could potentially lead to video screens one could roll up or fold to fit in a pocket. http://www.livescience.com/51131-flexible-tech-monitor-brain.html?cmpid=NL_TND_weekly_2015-06-10 Wherever would we be without science, some think it would be better, I just marvel at the people who think outside the box.

Someday they may come up with flexible screen that is totally made from renewable plant fibre. Rather than require electricity to operate, it is merely discarded and recycled into anew sceen!
