How do I convince my wife this is as safe as a normal key?
Conducting and semiconducting plastic and elastic materials are the next big thing in electronics. You'll be able to make flexible, rollable, foldable and stretchable LED and non-luminous reflective displays, wearable computers and camouflage. The camouflage would work by stretching a screen over an irregularly shaped object like a vehicle and it would display the image from a movie camera on the other side. Ten years from now the electrical engineers who use these will need at least an elementary knowledge of the organic chemistry behind them.
no electrical engineers does not need the course of organic chemistry
not necessary unless you were planning to do a hybridized study concerning electricity and organic chemistry.
Probably not. But.. If you were planning on going into instrumentation (maybe for materials science) it probably wouldn't hurt. Doug
