I think we are going to have a hard time trying to make it 'smart' like it is depicted; has to do with its conductive properties. It can theoretically be done, but it is a risk to go that route because by the time it becomes practical, we may have come across something more suitable.

I'd like to see it replace plastic though. Would affect our dependence on petroleum. And it does have potential as a data storage medium, 'printable' matter and whatnot.
