Electronic readers

The electronic reader PlasticLogic will market during the summer of 2009

Reading buffs are about to undergo a radical change in the way we relate to the details.Rarely supports my opinion, magazines and newspapers made on cellulose paper will begin to reduce their presence among us. A first step of this process have already established electronic reading devices first generation, such as the Sony Reader and the Kindle, marketed by Amazon. Widgets that offer a similar reading to that offered paperback books in black and white. They have had the disadvantage of very specific format with scarce supply with excessive weight and, thus, its implementation among potential users has not been all that seems expands.
All these disadvantages will gradually disappearing with the emergence of more effective new devices that will allow for a similar reading of newspapers, but with many added benefits not currently experienced. The possibility of multiple links along with audio and high quality video on demand.

The new Amazon Kindle

New proposals to facilitate digital reading will move this year to the electronics market. It is called electronic ink to be supported by high-strength plastic substrates and low weight. This technology, marketed by the American company E-Ink, allows high versatility of images and compositions. It is what is already a billing from magazines like Fortune (you can see a reference to it in the magazine this week Spanish Capital) in which are displayed and analyzed e-readers like the e-reader business PlasticLogic.In a few years, the ideas advanced by recent films like Minority Report science fiction or full Red Mars will actually among us. In the case of architects, platforms for the design have already returned to retrieve the size of the old drawing board with high resolution screens and larger than one meter. Or the possible emergence of sophisticated plastic planes to the letter renewal of the information presented. They are still products of a high price but it will eventually enter the technical offices.
The problem is that many people do not want to get to interact with all this electronic paraphernalia. This is because it still has a great complexity, many complications and poor quality on devices designed for relationships between men and machines, which creates difficulties and rejection. Many of us will be left behind unable to take advantage of all this technology in permanent mutation. The future belongs to the younger, whose mind has a greater ability to mold to the new realities.
Luckily, all the technology in the world does not guarantee the quality of the ideas that are going to formalize future scenarios. For a long time you will still need to make a new interpretation of the complex reality that is emerging and establish an empathic relationship with the future users.
