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.

    Don’t worry, everything will be owned by a few companies, and privacy won’t even be an understood concept.

        We’re kinda already there. I’ve noticed the generations that grew up after 9/11 when state surveillance and collecting and selling our personal data have been normalized, they think those of us who yearn for privacy are the weird ones.

        I realize that’s also true of people my age who have been immersed in the slowly boiling pot, but I try to imagine not remembering a time when we switched to Google because they promised not to sell us out to advertisers.

        How times have changed…
