And now, some bright group of researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have combined the two to create a new way to use each of these technologies.
MIT Reinvents the Post-It note… with Post-It notes
I don’t see it doing much for libraries, but it is an interesting technology mashup!
