I think it's funny how most of the pictures are about people doing usual things (talking with friends physically present, having dinner, having a meeting, etc.) and there is also a phone in their hand, like it's nothing. It feels weird to see people doing something on the phone while also being so present in other activities, and also interesting that some photos from 90' nailed it how it will be in the the 20'
Well, that aged differently, on different fronts...
All set aside, I did always wonder, why the screen has to fold (be flexible), surely a very thin line between 2 hard screens is very workable, perhaps it is even possible to make it (almost) invisible with some optical tricks.
Another point: It is easy to think of such things, it's the manufacturing and specifically manufacturing at scale that the work. That's why I think patents can really hold us back, by blocking the market from trying stuff because a company made some nice drawings. Perhaps we could have had our flying cars ;)
Stupid wiggly and slightly laggy dots with no option to stop motion altogether are making it annoying to browse on desktop as well. Everything is constantly moving and there's hardly any telling what's what among model dots, and they don't have much spatial persistency so you're just constantly lost. The only predictable way to browse is just going thru 755 cards page by page.
It's clearly not the Mobile-First Design Archive ;)
Sadly it's a reflection of why Nokia failed - Mobile Safari on iOS pretty much nailed the coffin for the Nokia approach to mobile browsing.
I think what's interesting is how looking back at the Nokia nostalgia is compelling because iOS and Android have become such overlords over our digital lives.

I love whenever this is posted everyone gets so mad about the UI (it is terrible)
"Hey claude make me the most annoying bs UI possible for the data I want to display, make no mistake"
I was thinking it was maybe GPT since I've had it generate this kind of black/green UI when I've prompted for just a blank skeleton page
Cool, but damn this is annoying to browse with phone.

Otherwise, extremely interesting materials
It's not that great on desktop either
Well, its a media-rich & heavy site, clearly not develped for mobile usage :-)
