Instead of folding screens, a race to make taking out the device unnecessary

The argument presented labels a new device launch that leads with a folding screen as outdated, and says the axis of competition has moved from screen size to how many of the tasks once done on that screen can be handed off. Three things are bundled as evidence: an agent that goes beyond chatting to open web windows and fill in forms, carrying a task through to the end, but asks for approval only on irreversible actions such as purchases or sending; a design that deliberately leaves the camera out of the glasses, not for performance reasons but because people sitting across from the wearer are uneasy about being filmed; and a way of inputting without making a sound by reading signals from the body's surface through electrodes in a wristband. The last of these is research published in an international journal, so its grounding is firmer than the rest, and it also ties in with the input problem in noisy work environments where both hands are occupied. However, there is not a single figure it measured itself, and reasons for failure such as battery life or awkwardness in public places are not dealt with at all.
