The future just keeps getting better.
Siemens AG - Wafer-Thin Color Displays for PackagingNeat stuff!07.10.05 | Color displays may one day be used practically everywhere. And this would be possible even where it’s unprofitable today for cost reasons, such as on food cartons, medicine packaging or admission tickets. At the Plastics Electronics trade fair in Frankfurt, Siemens developers exhibited extremely thin, miniature color displays that can be printed onto paper or foil. And the displays can be produced at very low cost compared to LCD panels. The first displays will become available on the market in 2007.

I'm an old fart so I can remember The Jetsons when it first premiered on broadcast television.
An amazingly prescient part of one episode that keeps being brought to mind was a scene where George comes out of his bedroom on his way to work to find Elroy sitting at the breakfast table eating a bowl of cereal and watching a space cowboy cartoon on the back of the cereal box. When George asked if all the cereal boxes showed cartoons Elroy answered yes, but this brand only showed the ones on the Space Cowboy channel.
Only thirty years later and we're finally getting close.

I remember it too - I think I was a bit younger of a fart when I saw it than you were. (grin)
I want my flying car! Preferably one that's Atlanta-Driver proof.
