I think that I ate a hippie once whose conscience got stuck in my gullet. I really want to embrace e-ink and the notion of a 'go anywhere, display everything' device.

From the brief time that I worked in the office culture, was amazed at how much paper, ink, and resources are given over to creating hard co'pies of things. Would love to strangle the flim-flam man who coined the term "paperless office."

If the multitude of office drones, and everyday folks had a device that had wifi, an A4 screen (or tandem screens) that could display in colour and basic animation, very few things would ever need to be printed.
No more ink, no printers, no reams and reams of paper. Would shed a tear for the dissolution of Dunder-Mifflin, but I think that it could be a better world.

Of course, am most likely grossly overstating the properties and possibilities of electro-phoretic displays.

If I'm in my tomb dreaming, this is a rather nice one
