Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

Call me too literal, call me too geeky, but I want to have actual 2D anything.

3D! 3D! 3D!

Everybody wants 3D everything. We want…

• 3D printing
• 3D user interface on the smartphone
• 3D movies
• 3D gestures for control of computers
• 3D integrated circuits

The list goes on.

Silly me, I want to have 2D. Give me a printer that actually prints in only two dimensions. Yes, actual, real, true absolutely flat print with a height of Z E R O. When we can do that, we will really have something. We will be able to build computers with zero height. We can then fold these flat computers over and over again and still have zero height.

Can you imagine what we would have if we had computers that are as thin as, well, as thin as nothing? That would be something!

Sorry, sometimes I wax into the ridiculous.
