Whilst various technologies advance at an ever-increasing rate there does seems one feature that is universal to a lot of them.  Just as we are being told that “THIN” is the new “FAT” in respect of our appearance the quest for thinner and thinner products is building momentum.  With LED technology being used to make slimmer TV screens other applications are using an ever-changing world of tech breakthroughs to make thinner products.  One manufacturer of digital cameras now has a 12MP 19.9mm thin “pocket rocket” to add to its arsenal – this thin modal combines stylish looks with abilities such as being able to withstand tumbles just over 2m, temperatures of –10*C and waterproof of up to 3M.  The 2 most obvious applications where slimness is used to full advantage is in the world of mobile phones and laptop/notebooks with mobiles now having seemingly endless applications that once upon a time you could only find on a computer.  It will only be a matter of time before we see wafer thin pieces of equipment and not just in our visual and audio living room.  At first this will come at a price but as “being thin” gathers pace its only a matter of time before prices will fall.  Who said it pays to be fat??
