What does this have to do with bendable displays? There's no mention of surveillance tech, there's no technical reason cloud connectivity needs to be involved (unlike, say, a "smart speaker"), and there's no reason to believe these displays will only be available on the market in a "cloud connection required or it won't function" way. > Like the internet-connected "smart speaker" with an always-on microphone, these "belong" everywhere. I don't follow. Are you saying bendable displays will be pushed "everywhere" in the way "smart TVs" are -- eg, to the point there is no such thing as a non-bendable display? Or that these will all be cloud-connected and in such high demand that it's a way to push surveillance tech? Why wouldn't these follow the path that looks something like 3D TVs, curved TVs, or curved monitors? (The latter of which is the only that really survived, but in a niche market).
