The MIT Advertising Blog (which may or may not be affiliated w/ MIT anymore) has an interesting item up today about talking paper. The BBC also has a piece up on it:
"Researchers from Mid Sweden University have constructed an interactive paper billboard that emits recorded sound in response to a user's touch. The prototype display uses conductive inks, which are sensitive to pressure, and printed speakers."
It would be fun to see someone attempt to bring back the world of zines with this technology but more likely scenarios will probably include those annoying magazine inserts pestering you to subscribe as they hit the ground.
