       @nina_kali_nina I get that. But carry-arround-screens have the inherit flaw of either being to small or being clunky. With the flexible/see-through displays it won't be long until we get head mounted displays/overlays with 300+ dpi.I would compare it to transistor radios. Everyone had them up until the 80s. They even diped into the portable form factor, but ultimately vanished when personal music playback developed into the Walkman and successor technologies.

       @pitchBut we don't need screens in our pockets. We need to do things. We do some of those things with screens, now, but 1) what things will we want to do and 2) how will we do them. We may want to know time. Have a source of light. Be able to... talk to people. Write things down. People things.  @nina_kali_nina

       @nina_kali_nina Plus i am not as fatalistic about our society as a whole. Because while the former "world leaders" disassemble from within the "developing countries" won't stop developing.

       @nina_kali_nina I love that it still does. And it *is* machinery!
