Active surface and printed electronics

The nanotechnology and stuff is fun. Here is some technology which might come even faster. Printed electronics provide means to produce low cost surfaces with animations and some games on items like posters with animation (like in Harry Potter) and milk cartons with cows jumping around or some tic-tac-toe games.

Just bumped into this nice possibility for people who would like to take a tattoo, but don't know what they want: Programmable tattoos:

So if you get bored with your tattoo you can change it

Sounds like a more advanced technology of what has been for long an idea of newspapers being available in non-paper fashion. Those newspapers on a 'roll-out screen' are one of the long-awaited hightech ideas still not around. But those printed electronics... That's completely new to me, and definitely great! Such could be implemented relatively easily with special effects by Samuli, I think.
