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.

In the futuuuuuuure, the concept of privacy has become obsolete. You share everything with everyone and the thing is, no one cares. Everyone has seen everything. Nothing is embarrassing any more. Until one day, the Cringelord is reborn...

I'm hooked, when's this book coming out?

In fact, the only way that you could pray to make impression,
On the era ahead is that instead of being notable,
You make the data describing you undecodable.

This is just Unimatrix Zero from Star Trek Voyager, isn’t it?
