      I think flexible electronics will become a lot more common, as first for use in science and hospitals and then for phones etc- you might be able to wear your phone on your sleeve or something!

      There are some scientists developing electrochemical sensors that can be stuck to your skin in the form of tattoos. They are hoping to use the technology to develop health monitoring devices and things. So because this sort of technology is already being made I guess maybe by 2020 we will be closer to having built-in ID technology and bio-sensors and things. So if you have an accident, the paramedics will be able to read the sensor and know all about your health records and things…
