As a kid I imagined the future as being able to hold a TV in your pocket, and flying skateboards. For the latter I guess electric scooters will have to do

    And tablets killed those digital picture frames. Because why have those when you can just prop a tablet down and have it on slideshow mode.

      No? Searching for “digital picture frame” brings up pages of results. These are popular enough because they are much cheaper than an equivalently sized tablet, e.g. a 10 inch digital picture frame details for around $150, which is less than half the price of a crappy android tablet.

      Also, tablets don’t really exceed 12 inches or so in size, but you can get digital picture frames as large as TVs.
