Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Froot is Screenless and Keyboardless

— January 18, 2010 — Tech
The Froot desktop computer was designed for Dell for a sustainable design concept. The eco-friendly aspect is quite simple: get rid of the keyboard and the monitor. Instead, Froot has two projectors, one for the keyboard and one for the screen.

Froot is also made out of a biodegradable starch-based polymer and the colorful casing also makes for a nice eye-pleasing desk accessory. Check it out in the gallery above!

Implications - When I looked at these images I couldn't help but think that using my conventional keyboard-monitor is outdated and not nearly as cool. Nevertheless, the Froot is a product that provides you with a window into the futuristic goods sci-fi movies and television prepared us for.
