The main protagonist in Star Cops ( <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Cops" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Star_Cops</a> ) had &quot;box&quot; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYsbD5hewig" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=iYsbD5hewig</a> back in the 80s :) It could cast things to nearby screens also :o) The screenless future isn&#x27;t going to happen, but reducing the time that people stare at their phones would be awesome.

While I think screens will never completely disappear, I feel that many of the appliances that are gaining them now (refrigerators? why?) should lose them as soon as possible.<p>Those screens do not make the appliances that have them better or smarter, like the marketing department of samsung&amp;co. want us to believe.
