CNN Previews New Tech
CNN has a preview of some new techie gadgets coming up, one of which is a fancy e-ink innovation. It’s supposed to be an improvement on the newspaper-reading experience. Reading newspapers, while an excellent way to get information, can be cumbersome on a commuter train (you try reading a fold-open-style newspaper with a cranky commuter sitting elbow-to-elbow with you!) and can leave your fingers with inky smudges.
A designer named Sebastien Bettencourt has designed a version of e-paper that will allow users to move seamlessly through content. Instead of clicking a button to turn pages, you can move or shake the “paper.” It’s an interesting concept, although I’m not entirely sure it’s better than clicking a button.
