The Lady Programmer

The huge speakers that we currently use in our homes and work places will eventually be replaced with paper-like, flat, flexible speakers, according to this article at Wired. This flexible speaker uses a flexible laminate, which vibrates when an electrical signal is applied. Conventional speakers, on the other hand, uses varying magnetic fields induced by electrical signals to produce sound.

Unlike conventional speakers, this speaker produces highly directional sound. Scientists recommend using it in busy pubic terminals.

This technology is not expensive to manufacture, and these researchers are expecting that this will be available commercially by the end of the year.
