Xerox Corporation scientists have invented a way to make prints whose images last only a day, so that the paper can be used again and again. The technology, which is still in a preliminary state, blurs the line between paper documents and digital displays and could ultimately lead to a significant reduction in paper use

Absolutely amazing. Paper as a reusable digital platform. This would have some amazing uses beyond the office uses state by IBM. Imagine your notes being completely out of context and arrows and highlights referring to emptiness on the page. Or using the prints of photos as underlays for a drawing on top of them. As the paper gets used over and over are we creating a digital palimpsest in a sense?
