The days of the old PC computer that take up an entire desk with the huge monitor, gigantic modem, keyboard, and mouse are quickly fading away. With the introduction of the iPad and Windows Tablet, the world of technology took a giant leap towards the future of computing. But, this 'Paper Tablet' is teleporting us to a Jetsons kind of world.
