The Logic of Electronic Plastic

I just recently posted an entry on Polymer Vision (reLink); specifically their “Readius” device. Today I found an interesting piece posted last week on the MIT Technology Review site called “Plastic Electronics Head for Market” (Link) which talks about Polymer Vision and another company called Plastic Logic. It’s an interesting article. Here’s one snip:

Plastic Logic, on the other hand, is building a new facility in Dresden, Germany, that will print the polymer electronics. It will use nozzles to deposit tiny liquid droplets of semiconductor polymer materials on a plastic substrate to form circuits in much the same way that inkjets print type on paper.

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

Can hardly wait to see paper-like electronic readers… though partly to see what people like Seth Godin do when the issues they’re worrying about now are replaced by the same things the music and movie industries are confronting. Copyright or Creative Commons, there’s no logic in either if the other can’t survive.
