I understand your perspective, but I feel this is more of a throwback to the old Star Trek paradigm of carrying tricorders and com devices rather than something like the Culture paradigm, where you have a basic terminal device if you need or desire it, but smaller, noninvasive tech for everything, with the neural lace the most invisible (but obviously embedded in your brain). For me personally, I want to see the hardware disappear and fade into the background. When I’m cooking, I want to see the recipes and instructions overlayed, and when I’m examining my car, I want to see diagnostics on top of my vision, and when I’m working out, I want to see my vitals. I don’t want to be looking at a watch, staring into glasses, or holding a device of any kind. I’m arguing that fashion designers can accomplish this task better than technologists alone. Clothing, love it or hate it, when done right, becomes somewhat invisible to those who wear it. It’s the perfect medium to make this happen. I’m sitting on a chair right now, looking down at my pants. This is empty, available real estate for display, one on each pant leg. I’m sorry if people find this ridiculous, but it just makes so much more sense to me than holding a device. It’s also perfect space for a split keyboard input, one half on each fabric of the pant leg. It would enable writers to compose just about anywhere, and it’s not unprecedented. On location news crews outside of their TV vans would use keyboards like this, strapped around their waist.
