Gorilla Glass
August 4th, 2010 by ComputerBob
Corning first developed it way back in 1962.
But no one knew what to do with it, so it’s been sitting around for nearly a half-century, waiting.
When I look back at the past few decades of tumultuous events around the world — including both natural and man-made disasters — I’m astounded that it took until now for someone to think of some good uses for ultra-strong glass — and that even now, they’re only thinking of using it in portable electronic devices and high-end TV screens.
