@Bugstomper2 exactly, every cell phone I or anyone in my family has bought has been more fragile than the last. I am sure this is the same reason we haven't seen rubber metal in even high end electronics yet despite the fact it and a reasonably efficient manufacturing process for small circuitry has been around for what, 5 years? Imagine ear-buds that lasted longer than 2 weeks before the wires broke! I doubt we will see this technology outside the military for many years.

putting the electronics in the drivebelt(s) of a machine somehow.
Or tyres that glow orange. Wind screen wipers with built in heater, Flexible instrument panel on the wind screen...

Flexible equates to durable I think. Hmmmm.

lol

"floppy disk"

one technology would be compact lenses that you can put on ur eyes and have like a whole computer screen in your eyes the whole time!
-
They won't build them properly. They'll think, 'Hmmm, we can use 15% less material...', and then when you bend it a few times, it'll break, and won't work. Retail stores will demand that! Why would they want an indistructable cell-phone anyway?

hahahaha

What he said. Minus the anal part. :P

lol thanks a lot

Umm, imagine if you drop your cell phone, it will absorb the blow rather than cracking and breaking the circuits, seeing as how the circuits and casing could now be flexible, rather than stiff and breakable. Taken farther than 15%, and you could have virtually indestructable electronics.

They'll play a jingle when you squeeze them.
