Though an unlikely pairing, the natural origins of cork meet the highly mechanized world of electronics in these electronic cork innovations.
Cork is known to be environmentally friendly due to easy recycling procedures and sustainable reduction. The coupling of these vastly different worlds is an attempt to mix environmental consciousness with the progression of technology. Undoubtedly our race will delve deeper and deeper into the virtual world as we are eager to see what powers it will bring us; however, there are an increasing number of conflicting calls to scale back on ecological impact. These cork tech creations are the product of a society that is trying to find a balance between two forces heading in opposite directions.
The compromising electronic cork innovations result in new products that are fresh both in design and utility.
