Shuffle Your PC???

What will they come up with next? How about a PC that is designed to look and feel like....paper. The PaperTab designed by Queens University, Intel Logic and Plastic Logic  will do just that. The idea is to make using  a tablet just like shuffling papers. This way the user can have more apps open ans all running at once. The PaperTabs can even be combined joining them together or you can even exchange data between PaperTabs by touching them both simultaneously. The most interesting thing about the PaperTab to me just as they stated in the article written by Clay Dillow on Popsci.com is the user interface. You don't have to swipe, point or press any keys you only have to Flex the tablet in certain directions. I personally feel that while this is a really cool concept it is very inefficient, will cause disorganization and I seriously doubt companies are going to go for something like this.
