The driving force behind flexible technology is to adapt 21st century innovations into our everyday without fears of smashing, cracking or breaking the powerful personal computing devices. While the dream of flexible technology was at one time only a concept, today it has taken place as a design feature being more sought after than ever before.
At first, flexible technology was confined to keyboards and charging devices, but now there are a plethora of products out there from bendable e-readers to rollable tablets that let users take their beloved devices to more places than ever before imagined.
Although some of the products in this collection might be concepts, it's certain that flexible technology will continue to gain market share and be implimented in unexpected ways with regard to consumer electronics.
