Stretchable Electronics?

[digtech]

I suppose we first think about nanotechnology and the shrinking of the microchip, but one must also think about convenience. Semiconductors and microchips are in so many devices we use daily, like smart credit cards (which are bendable). That same idea is trying to be improved: Bendable silicon chips. One researcher has come up with an interesting way to go a step further and make the chips stretchable. Technology Review put out a great article on this, including an illustrated explanation. Wow. Does anyone think this is a good or even useful idea?
