That is an interesting article. Depending on how transparent those solar cells can get, perhaps we will see them on windows, skylights, windscreens... maybe even sunglasses!

Yeah but by then all they could do for me is power my pacemaker. Still, I remember 20 years ago telling my family about bendable computer screen and wearable computer bits and now not only does my dog have a chip but they are selling flex phones. Did you see the roomba for the garden? The little wheels chew up new weeds and it has an on board weed eater string.
