It seems these days the buzz is about larger screens. On the one hand people already have drive in movie like screens installed in their homes (see wonderful blog elsewhere on site) but now want more glass to carry on their person.
Hence the larger phones that are approaching dinner menu size proportions jutting out of people's pockets. There has come a time to address the garment market in light of the changing phone size.
Traditional pants or jeans supported a 5" screen comfortably plus a wallet and other essentials for survival in the urban jungle. Now with the advent of larger screens there is going to be a need to have a kangaroo pouch instead of one pocket on either side of the pants.
This will allow user or owner operator to stow large amounts of inventory including makeup and communication devices along with the needed accessories whilst traipsing down the zip line or enjoying a burger at the beach or getting that appendix removed.
What is going to get smaller is the amount of change left in the pocket which is just as well since there will not be any room for it after allowing for the 3 D glasses that will soon follow. Use of 3D glasses to see the large glass will lead to some serious confusion as people will lose sense of what is in front of them mistaking the scene on their 3D phones to be realistic. Legislators will have a field day crafting new rules around the use of said pouches and devices within.
Police might also get confused trying to arrest individuals as they may not be sure who they are arresting - what is in the screen in front of them or what is in front of them? 'Behind the screens' so to speak!
On an informal mission to read one book a week as long as the eyes allow for such ambition. Fiction or non is not important as long as it entertains and /or educates. To that end the past few weeks have brought a bounty in the form of some wonderful and then not so engaging literature. Among the notables are - Non fiction category: 1. Good arguments by Bo Seo (how to handle a dispute or debate the most efficient way possible) 2. Genesis by Eric Schmidt (and former US Secy of State Henry Kissinger, who recently passed) - how AI might affect our lives as we know it 3. One in a billion - Zarna Garg (an autobiographical look at an Indian born American woman with a bindi narrated in a standup format - yes it is at times cliched but still funny) Fiction: 1. Personal by Lee Child (a vigilante story with Jack Reacher the giant, nomad protagonist of Child's novels goes hunting for a sniper) 2. Ramayana unraveled by Ami Ganatra (she might disagree about it being a work of fiction but oh wel...
What if we can design a glass bubble in which you could also sit and move around? Might save you from having to have a car.
