Technology and gadgets are a lot of fun to play around with. Many innovations have really come to the forefront and made their presence known. Usually, the tech trends are in an area where people would expect gadgets to abound such as with HDTV and computers. But every once in a while, you get some really cool tech that comes out that is able to amaze and astound, but kind of catches the public off guard. One subject area is ink. You have ink cartridges and magnetic ink, but there are some really cool technologies developed that all center around different and unusual types of ink including color-changing ink, magnetic ink, disappearing ink and even ink that can be eaten. Check out these ink trends and you will see what I mean!
