Couldn't have said it better.
I think I'll never, never use that little cell phone-like screens.
Maybe an eyeglass-mounted device could happen. Several years ago,
I noticed a project somewhere whose goal was to build a small
device that, when mounted in an eyeglass could beam 1024x768 color
images right into the retina, from 3 semiconductor lasers (like
trinitron tubes, I guess).
Gee, I guess I'd use only with FDA approval. ;)
