Could you use graphene to create the highest resolution computer monitor/TV possible? Some people told me it's possible, but I don't quite see how or why.

So we can make huge graphene sheets now? Excellent. What are we waiting for now? I want my transparent computer that I can be fold and stuff it in my pocked.

Monitor/TV resolution will reach a maximum soon, not for lack of technology, but because any more improvement would be useless.

Just wait for phased-array optics. You can't get better display tech than that.

Man that's going to be neat. Don't think we'll see it in our time though.

Allow me to make a (grim) prediction:

They succeed. They stop aging. People who undergo the treatment really do stop aging. However, stupid people will kill them, because "lol they are immortal so we can shoot them in the head with a shotgun".

Kids will think they're immortal and can "safely" crash their car. (And as usual, they won't die but manage to kill 5 innocent bystanders and then they get life (heh-heh).)

>> No.1959351

>>1959341
Peddling it as radical life extension rather than biological immortality stops most of the dipshit kids crashing cars and what have you. And frankly if you're that stupid to believe that stopping aging makes the calcium in your bones able to withstand a 80 km/h collision on a freeway is natural selection in action.
I do not doubt that there will be some nutjob religious fundies trying to do so, but guess what, they're already trying to do that to people for other reasons, like if they're gay, not *insert religion here* and so on. These are problems that are not that big.

True. But don't underestimate the stupidity of a man. Especially if he's drunk. If you stop their aging, it makes some of them even more reckless than what they otherwise would be.

I'm not really concerned about stupid päeople killing themselves. I'm concerned about the other people they take with them when they do something stupid and die.

But there's nothing we can do about that. Let's go back on topic, which was graphene.

>> No.1959436

Correct me if I'm wrong but the appeal of this isn't the resolution, it's the durability and thinness which allow it to be rolled up.

Certainly there will still need to be metal pieces which can't fold, but what I imagines is that all of these nonflexible pieces will be condensed into something about the shape of a pencil, and then the screen can be rolled out from this to the side.
