Author's Note
I think the idea of flexible, super-thin transparent TV screens is really cool. But what I really want to have is a TV without a screen, one that projects images on the inside of my eyeglass lenses or, better yet, creates three-dimensional holograms around me. Throw in some haptic technology that would create tactile sensations and super-vivid audio, and we could have reality TV programs that actually would seem like reality.
