The suggestion to use AR glasses with this keyboard computer feels very Ghost-in-the-Shell cyberpunk to me. Stepping onto a train and you find some guy with glasses sitting near the train door staring blankly at other passengers while typing furiously on the keyboard. Looks a bit creepy. After a moment it's revealed he has an AR display and he's writing an email or whatever.

...why do I feel nostalgic for a cyberpunk dystopia?

We seem to have ended up with the dystopia, but not the cyberpunk

I've been thinking that tablet on a stick probably has better ergonomics than a laptop for programming in the garden. This would be an interesting variant on that.

Maybe more importantly though, how feasible is the glasses suggestion? Are any now a reasonable proposition for a large emacs instance?

> writing an email or whatever

The only certainty is that email will never die

Man that's cool. Not for me personally as I need a display and not glasses, but it's cool we have so much computer power in such portable formats now.

I love that we have pretty powerful laptops with 20 hours of battery that only weigh a pound or so. I remember 20 years ago lugging around a 2kh brick with only 2 hours of battery.

Nor would I want it to. It's a great medium for messages that may or may not be important and that, in some cases, I want to archive.

There's a number of tablet examples curated on the ergomobilecomputers subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ErgoMobileComputers/search/?q=table...

> "how feasible is the glasses suggestion?"

Not my cup of tea but see some people do it:

I think IRC would slightly enhance the cyberpunk aesthetic, and is likely to give strong competition to email for the 'eternal communication protocol' contest!
