Sci-fi gripe: holograms for personal devices
(i.pinimg.com)
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.
Yes it's annoying and this is the reason holographic displays like this will probably never be marketed even when the technology is readily available. Probably it will be something more like augmented reality glasses (which I find equally obnoxious) where people just see their own holographic display when they have the glasses on. If we're talking all the way in 2144 it probably won't be actual glasses but some kind of contacts or a chip implant or something
You better be running a good ad blocker for that implant!
It works great but it lifts surface thoughts like a keylogger and sends them god-knows-where
