[kukaiaht] Computers in other dimensions

Create computers of a very different form factors: for example, as thin as a piece of paper (2D), or as thin as string (1D), in contrast to our box-like 3D computers today.  It will require different technologies to fit a computer into these constraints.

There's the old puzzle of minimizing the number of NAND gates to allow two signals to cross on a plane.

In 2D, heat dissipation will not be a problem!  Heat dissipates via the third dimension.

This is a solution in search of a problem. Wearable computers?
