32. Smart Wallpaper
- Chances We’ll See It: Very High
A book called Oryx and Crake, written by Margaret Atwood has one of the coolest science fiction inventions ever. It is referred to as “smart wallpaper.” Today, we can make something quite similar to smart wallpaper. Atwood’s description of wallpaper in her book was interesting but baked in more fiction than science.

She basically mentioned the use of it would be to change the color of your walls to fit your mood. A good energy source would be needed for it to work. Yet the way to do this is with LEDs layered about that can be lined up to form something like wallpaper. The image on the LED boards can be changed up with ease too.
