What do cell phones look like in the year 2144?

Obviously they won’t have a screen anymore. They’ll be pop-up displays. So if you’re sitting on a train and your romantic partner sends you a steamy selfie…guess who has an audience?

Has this annoyed anyone else?

If they’re tactical screens, that makes sense. But I still don’t think transparent displays on personal devices will be a thing in the future.

    Sure, but why?

    What is gained by a holo-display in your hand? It looks futuristic? If you wanted the experience of talking to someone face to face, why would they be a 6 in version projected into your hand? Why not face to face?

    It’s solving a problem that doesn’t even need to exist. Hologram stuff is poorly thought out in media.

      Physical devices needed to project it,

      Or in a VR/AR type set up… you’d have to designate some kind of environmental positioning.

      More likely though, you’d be holding their disembodied head. Rather than a mini-them. Possibly a torso/bust attached
