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.

Some times devices in movies have the shape that appear best on the screen... and then the technology evolves so much that we can make them, and we get tablets.

It's incredible that nobody ever tried to sell a speakerphone that plugs on your shirt.
