The next big thing in electronics may be talking magazine ads, smart
spray paint and foldable displays

Feb. 23 issue - For someone who may turn out to be the father of
ubiquitous computing, Sir Richard Friend is a hard guy to track down.
Phone calls made to his two laboratories at Britain's Cambridge
University, where he is a professor of physics, go unanswered, as do
e-mails sent to the offices of both of his high-tech companies,
Plastic Logic and Cambridge Display Technology (CDT). "Have the
college porter leave a message in his pigeonhole," advises a Cambridge
neighbor. How long the note will languish in its wooden box before
Friend retrieves it is anyone's guess. One can only hope for the day
when his technology might allow smart pigeonholes spray-painted with
plastic microchips to alert their owners to new handwritten messages.
