    How the hell are you going to work with that?

    Is that slab of touchscreen in your pocket a workstation too?

    FFS, when I was excited about sensory screens like in sci-fi, I meant electronic notepads (with accumulators lasting a month, probably also usable as hardware authenticators and not too beefy audio and video players, but intentionally weak and without real OS, some kind of electronic paper with a visual PostScript editor, I dunno ; probably functional as remote controllers for something else ; thin reliable cheap devices with wide, but not tall functionality).

    That was when iPhones still were some new stupidity and I had a Nokia phone (a good one) with cute nice buttons and Nokia UI design, you know how it all felt then.

    EDIT: that association was because I assumed you imagine this like “touching” objects in VR with your fingers and such
