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.

Huh, interesting idea, let me know if you can remember what it's from!

Good luck with that. I read it years ago. The only other detail I recall is that there were little locks on the females' suits and the ladies could give a fellow they liked the 'key' so they could connect later. Pretty sure it was written around 1950...
