Amazing Morphing Materials Technologies Come to Light

In the future, every household may come furnished with "smart material" -- discreet "appliances" which could morph on demand into chairs, iPods, cameras or even a 3-D communication device. Catch the vision of Mark Kuzyk, professor of physics at Washington State University - a pioneer in the world of lasers and nonlinear optics.

these things are already possible today

the problem as always is the money

manufacturing process would make the products too expensive for consumers

so until some one find a way to make them in a cheaper way we are stuck

for instance we could have had a 1000 core cpu today

greed delays our technical evolution by several decades / centuries

so we are basically shooting ourselves in the foot

the people that think we are smart are so wrong it hurts

Kuzyk makes me want to go back and take physics again.... well, almost.
