V for Vendetta

[Charles Foster Kane]

There are some unbelievers about....

Nitpickers is a great site for, well, movie nit-picking, Star Trek nitpicks for example:

I actually enjoyed V by the way, just thought that having current office computers in a film set a decade-and-a-half or so in the future shattered the illusion a bit

Why? How can you improve the LCD monitor, other than making it bigger and brighter? The case it goes in is pure ergonomics & economics.

If this comes to pass by 2020 (and you can find me) I'll give you five pounds.

Google LEP or 'Light-emitting polymer' technology.

Or even this would be a good start:

That sort of thing only makes it feel more 'British' which is no bad thing, we were brought up on crappy BBC effects and props... I like it that way.

Oooo Shiny... Can't see youtube at work, or use a proxy. But Cambridge stuff looks interesting for shop windows etc. .

However, If you've got a predominantly 2D paradigm (eg Windows) why do you need an expensive bendy screen on your desk?

I'm not saying we're at the zenith of computing technology but I'm not sure a polymeric screen would offer me anything...

The real advatange is the fact that these displays are 'rollable', ergo Windows Mobile would benefit more than Windows in this context, in the not too distant future you could have a 10 inch polymeric screen that rolls out of your device for watching movies (once the technology matures a bit), the 'Readius' has already been developed by polymericvision which is a black and white polymer screen which rolls out of a mobile phone sized device:

Mobile device, very cool. Desktop - I'll keep the high-res LCD.
