The flexible glass that has the capability of supporting electronics is cool. Wait til we hear the $$$$$ it will cost.

Initially, very (if they ever produced), but look at how quickly the prices have dropped with LCD screens (for example). They have gone from being mega rare and expensive to being commonplace in the course of 10-15 years!

One problem I can see, devices such as those envisioned in the video would probably make use of transparent wiring, right now we mainly use Indium (indium tin oxide) for that, but we don't have a huge amount of Indium left these days!

Interesting concepts tho!
