40 Flex-Tech Designs

From Ductile Device Peripherals to Roll-Up Keyboards

— October 16, 2011 — Unique
One way that technology can adapt to your needs is by being flexible -- literally. These flex-tech designs illustrate how technology has enhanced over the years to give tech consumers maximum adaptability. Not only do these devices offer superior technological functionality but they also ensure that users can physically bend, fold and manipulate them to individual needs.

From foldable multimedia devices to malleable mobiles, the flex-tech designs available today are astonishing but continue to grow in number. I mean, the concept of a yoga mat computer seems strange now, but imagine the reaction it would have gotten as little as five years ago. At any rate, tech consumers are, ultimately, quite fickle. Will these flex-tech designs really stick around? That's for you to decide.
