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.

Similarily i don't want devices talking to me, i want them making intuitive noises and if they ever do have to speak to convey complex information i want it to be in a clearly artificial voice because otherwise it's creepy.

I would love to find some interesting voices of this type for my phone TTS. Everything is "natural" now, but what if I want a voice like SHODAN or something?
