Rollable laptop

Hm, interesting concept to have a rollable / transformable device which is able to function as a laptop or just a display (with pen). After that you could carry it like a water bottle.

CHI 2013 (04/27/2013 – 05/02/2013)

A preview video for the CHI 2013 (ACM SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 04/27/2013 – 05/02/2013,  Palais des Congrès, Paris):

It seems the virtual world is more and more expanding. Is it good or bad? How will our world be in let’s say 30 years?

Yet, i don’t know. And that confuses me.
