The Mobile Phone Made Out Of Paper

If you think your iPhone is brilliant, get ready for the amazing PaperPhone.

The PaperPhone features a flexible screen that will mould to whatever shape you want - and you can select features simply by bending it!

It can do everything you want your phone to do - store books, play music, send text messages and make phone calls.

Inventor Roel Vertegaal from Queen's University in Ontario, Canada, said: "This is the future. Everything is going to look and feel like this within five years.

"This computer looks, feels and operates like a small sheet of interactive paper, meaning that when users are reading they don't feel like they are holding a sheet of glass or metal.

"You interact with it by bending it into a cell phone, flipping the corner to turn pages, or writing on it with a pen."
