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.

Can't remember the title or author. Co-ed space crews working in heavy environmental armor. Each person can set their armor to allow different levels of transparency. You can set it so only your prefered partners can see your face, or see more if you're so inclined.

    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...
