I don't know if this is going to be good or bad.

I didn't actually think this was a new thing. I could swear conductive ink has been around for years, mainly for fixing broken traces on circuit boards.

The way I see it, this is just taking the concept of conductive ink in a different direction. Instead of repairing small circuits, it's being used to replace wiring entirely. The main thing I wonder is, how do they insulate it? I certainly wouldn't want to be shocked or electrocuted just by touching a wall painted with the stuff with a circuit running through it. :P
