The Cambridge Nanoscience Centre and Nokia have created a concept for a nanotech device called Morph, which is a phone, a payment card, a wristwatch, a fashion accessory and any number of other things that shiftshapes to suit the mode of the user. The nanotechnology also makes the device self-cleaning and self-charging through gazillions of blades of nanograss.
This is a nice, applied depiction of nanotechnologies to real-world situations. Could this be the Futureshock of our generation?
