Will the future of computing be simple, small and distributed? Flexible electronics might bring that vision to a reality. Consider this quote from a recent New Scientist article, which in turn quotes Hermann Hauser of Amadeus Capital Partners, investor in Cambridge company Plastic Logic. :
People often think of electronic circuits doing very complex things, but very simple plastic ones, in which each device is reporting wirelessly where it is and what it is, over simple mesh networks, will be of very great benefit.
