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, they'll be so relevant, you'll just think the real content is... just a really clever add. (Okay, so maybe all you'll see is just advertising. but how is that different than YT already is is?)

The same reason I avoid YouTube like the plague 🤦‍♀️ I can barely open the app without watching an advert

Hmmm.... can you imagine if they figure out how to start pumping other sensations? Dr. Sasquatch soap... making you think you smell like a mangy dog. the not-as-itchy socks company... giving you the sensation of itchy socks.

whatever iteration of as-seen-on-YT wonderbra they happen to be on... only to realize, your manboobs aren't actually that large...awkward.
