Check out this recent innovation of an ultra-thin and utterly flexible battery by a team of Korean scientists

 

This may revolutionize future gadgets... Imagine a tab that you can easily fold and put it in your pocket? Would you like to have a flexible gadget like that? What other features do you think may appear in future gadgets?

No, I love the battery, it's just jonsie's rubbishy credit cards I was talking about.

 

I think there will follow a totally flexible tablet and more portable devices where rigidity is a drawback.

Is it just me or do cards not last like they used to? I suppose we do use them more now more than ever, but the chip on mine is knackard. The blimmin' thing doesn't even work in some shops, often I have to leg it from the checkout to the cash machine to pay for my shopping, I wouldn't mind but it's only a few months old.

I think they just make them out of recycled pop bottles. Mine all tend to crack around the chip, I don't think I've ever had one that's expired naturally. Rbs think my present one will last me to 2017!Smiley Very Happy

My last one did that, this one is just all battered and peeling apart.

It's all well and good me getting a new card, but they cancel my existing card in the mean time while it's sent out. I need my card!
