You know, there was something very similar in the movie Ultraviolet (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0370032/). :)

But if we did away with all that paper, what would the homeless folks use to insulate their clothes in the winter? :o

In the TV Sci-Fi series, CAPRICA, they had something similar called, Smart Paper, in which one could simply touch icons and other symbols or text and read or interact with and it could easily be folded and carried about.

Science Fiction has always been the premise for Science Reality.

Absoultley right Art, aparently on the set of Star Trek:The Next Generation they had terrible trouble keeping ahead of technology advances in their attempt to make the series look futuristic.
