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.

    2023, and I HATE video calls. I mean, I don’t like audio either, but video is just… Please let me just do my work. At the very least don’t make me come on camera to talk to people who also don’t want to talk to me.

      Same. It’s one thing if I’m calling my 7-year old niece that lives 100 miles away but I miss her and want to see her face. It’s something else entirely when I’m on a call I don’t want to be on in the first place, listening to people I don’t need to hear from who aren’t even talking to me.

        My favorite part is where nobody is making eye contact because they are all looking at the screen instead f the camera.

        Well, that or the one person who is having some weird technical issue that keep blasting the whole meeting with strange noises.
