e-Newspaper

e-Newspaper
The IBM e-Newspaper is a design concept that explores a possible future method of news and information delivery. It takes into account consumer expectations and behaviors — the way they read, fold and carry printed materials — in-order to translate that emotional and physical connection to an electronic solution rather than abandon that established relationship between consumer and product.

Readers would connect the e-Newspaper to the Web to update it, download stories and graphics into memory, and display them on eight dual-sided, durable, flexible pages printed with an experimental electronic ink. The ink would respond to electronic charges and reconfigure into new words and graphics.

The IBM e-Newspaper won a Gold Award in the 1999 competition of the Industrial Design Society of America. Sponsored by BusinessWeek magazine, it is one of the most prestigious worldwide design competitions.
