Object of the future

My Object of the future is: E-paper

Why is E-paper a product of the future?

The purpose of E-paper is to replace the traditional paper. Now a days a lot of people already use the monitor to read documents. But some users complain about the light of the monitor. It makes the eyes of the users more tiring. E-paper is a product that reads the same as tradional paper but on top of that E-paper have more advantages. reusablilty of the paper is one big advantages also E-paper is less environmentally unfriendly. Think of a the forests that can be saved by using E-paper. Another think of is it portablilty, looking at the pictur above you can see that it's a small device that can be contain a lot of documents. It's light and compact. So to conclude I really think that E-paper will have a bright future. Maybe not next year but definitly within 10 years.
