What's a logical bio-extension of electronic paper technologies? Tatoos, of course!
"Finally, a technique for modifying subcutaneous tattoos using special inks has also been patented. It relies upon microencapsulated spheres injected under the skin. Such microencapsulation is typified by eInk's "digital ink" technology for use in electronic paper. A set of drive electrodes manually applied to the skin manipulates the tattoo image electrically." But there are medicinal applications also, like a display for nanobot sensors monitoring diabetes.
So now when you want to tell your daughter not to get that tatoo because she might not be dating "Milfred" anymore when she's twenty, you really don't have a decent argument left, do you?!
