Let's me clear, they didn't INVEST, they SPENT. Cut the word games. And they should have spent the money on better personal weapons and ammo for Solders, Sailors and Marines to defend themselves instead of developing useless f-ing gadgets with my tax money.

A series of movies a few years back, based on Shatner's TekWars, had flexible screen communicators; I've been waiting for them in real-life since then : )

THE GUY THAT SAID HE NEEDS A FLEXIBLE DEVICE with video chat therefore replacing his valet, watch, mobile phone, MP3 player, and GPS device. There is one out now called IPhone, It does not bend but it will blend.

That brings the Army's total investment since the Flexible Display Center (FDC) started in 2004 to $100 million.


So why is the military so keen on flexible displays?


It's all about information and communications...and possibly profit.




U.S. Army also extends to the private sector, as well as other universities.
