Wired quotes Pattie Maes, the project manager of Wear ur World:

In the tactile world, we use our five senses to take in information about our environment and respond to it [...]. But a lot of the information that helps us understand and respond to the world doesn’t come from these senses. Instead, it comes from computers and the internet. Maes’ goal is to harness computers to feed us information in an organic fashion, like our existing senses.

This might be right. But in my opinion, the organic fashion Mae is aiming at will rather leed to excessive Nerdism. Early adopters and grown-up-childs will refer to this technology as gadgets and will use it to impress their surrounding – just like we they do today with iPhones and Netbooks.

That’s OK with me. I just want the ePaper thingy because that’s real hot shit.
