Yes.

I'd peg the trend as hitting it's hottest in 1988/89, when I was in Jr.High, and in the white-hot center of it. I loved these things, and will never understand the backlash against fun trends once loved.

He was questioning e-paper, not slap bracelets (though maybe he doesn't like them either).

I don't have a problem with e-paper so much as with the ubuiquitous portable/disposable power supplies they'll require. Power production has a habit of being very toxic the more portable it is.

They actually *hurt* me.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
