Re: Smartphones News and Discussions
Just why? Aren't these cumbersome enough? If I wanted a big display I'd buy a tablet.

Global economy doubles in product every 15-20 years. Computer performance at a constant price doubles nowadays every 4 years on average. Livestock-as-food will globally stop being a thing by ~2050 (precision fermentation and more). Human stupidity, pride and depravity are the biggest problems of our world.
Re: Smartphones News and Discussions
Smartphones have had a similar user experience for many years now. It's basically a rectangular computer with a touchscreen, microphones, cameras and other sensors.
There is no large improvement in day-to-day user experience. Just advertisements pretending this or that.
Faster processing, slightly better cameras, maybe very slightly bigger screen. Boring!
I don't want to use such devices, even if they had 100 exaflops of processing speed. They don't feel futuristic at all to me, to be honest. Even 15 years ago I was already thinking about AR glasses and BCIs. I feel like we are stuck. And those "AIs" are still awfully stupid, and nearly everybody outside futurology/singularity circles thinks so too. Literally the only places I get downvoted for saying current AI is dumb and useless are futurism and singularity places. Everywhere else people agree.
