The most authentic and time-tested style of the media, newspaper (read news in papers), is loosing ground to the modern techie option of e-papers flashing on your screens. And with the numbers of trees uprooted for making of paper, isn’t it time that we swap our pack of black-n-white texted paper for an avant-garde ‘newspaper’? Designer Mayo Nissen puts across his vision of the newspaper for 2015. Featuring a rolled-up form, this newspaper will use flexible e-ink display. And since every Tom, Dick and Harry isn’t interested in every bit of word typed there, Mayo’s version allows a controlled style of displaying news. Based on physical form, when rolled up a brief update of headlines will fit the front and if intended to be read in depth, then simply expand it.

Being controlled by the reader, this is likely to depend on current needs, context, and available time, as well as the content on offer at any one time. However there isn’t much said about its connectivity and other techie details. If only the designer sheds more light on this project, we can actualy look forward to see such a revolutionary news source by 2015.

Interesting information here. This design takes us closer to age of digital reading against paper reading. One of the issue with reading news or stories or novels on PC has been the light. Papers don’t emit light and hence are more comfortable for prolonged reading compared to screens where the light comes from within... Also the fact that its quite uncomfortable to take your monitor or even a laptop to bed to read while sleeping (tablet PC are good but for the light issue).
This design does look good for tackling both these issues and the rolling up design also seems cool...
The design really looks cool and may help reduce the damage being done to the environment. Yes Manish, it is the light that makes us want to prefer reading newspapers and also the fact it can be conveniently carried with you. That is exactly why books always score over ebooks
lol....... thats a much better way to think... 2015 seemed like a long time away :P
Yes Jaiyant. And this design does look like we can overcome these issues. Too bad we need to wait till 2015 :(
Hang on....just about 7 years.....doesn’t seem that long!
