just when you thought you'd heard it all.....

....along come talking signboards. They are sensitive to touch and emit audio as a response. "The key to the billboard's capabilities is a layer of digital paper that is embedded with electronics", which act as a "functional layer [which] is sandwiched between a thick sheet of extra-strong cardboard and another sheet of paper that is printed with the billboard's design", explains the BBC.

Interesting.........they think it might be next generation of advertising. We think it could serve as a next generation of practical jokes!

Either way, thank you Mid-Sweden University and thank you BBC for providing us with food for thought on this fine 5th of June 2007.
