My Object of the future is: E-paper
Why is E-paper a product of the future?
The purpose of E-paper is to replace the traditional paper.

Future development
The development of E-paper will go on. More and more traditional paper books will be replaced by E-paper. The quality of E-paper will increase, by quality I mean not only the quality of the screen, but also the reusability and portability. One day E-paper will become standard. The next step: One can think of combining E-paper with WiFi, to connect it with the PAN (Personal Area Network), that allow you to read your documents everywhere.
Conclusion
So to conclude I really think that E-paper will have a bright future. Maybe not next year but definitely within 10 years. By combining different technology with the E-paper the possibilities are countless.
