Bio: Experienced web designer

Area of Expertise: Legislator/Politician/Lawyer

Topic: Communication

Headline: The News Stylus

Nutshell: Newspapers will be replaced by a simple, flat screen with a stylus.

Vision:

Going further into it, a flat screen (no more than a few centimeters thick) will be carried by just about every person. On it, subscriptions to magazines, comics, and newspapers will automatically refresh from day to day, depending on subscriptions. Inside each will rest a flash drive, where all current material can be saved to. People without a subscription can simply bring their machine to a local vendor and pick up a flash disk with everything they need.
