One of the products that generated the most excitement at CES this year was the Fujitsu “corn” computer. The corn polymer computer was created by Fujitsu to utilize corn (or other plant-based materials) to create the plastic housing, thus resulting in a substance that bio-degrades much more quickly than other plastics. Given the emphasis placed on the environment at this show, people sought out the Fujitsu display to get a closer look. 

A number of reviewers took the opportunity to discuss bio-plastics in general with an emphasis on the “corn-puter”, including John C. Dvorak, who interviewed our own Richard McCormack. Other reviewers included Yahoo Tech, Geek.com, GreenBiz, and The Times and Democrat. Extensive coverage of the corn computer was also provided by local and national television stations.
