What year was the tablet? Samsung argued against Apple that they couldn’t own the design of the tablet itself because it had been done in 1968 in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Either way, nearly every piece of tech could probably be found first in sci-fi.
IDK about first for everything as genres go, but sci-fi would certainly be the most comprehensive.
Shit, glasses are wearable tech if you wanna get technical about it.
And if you want to get differently technical about it hearing aids are. And people with cochlear implants are cyborgs
Dang, I actually would like a Write-Top, and this technology at that point is impressive to me:
Using an advanced symbol-recognition algorithm, the Linus (“of or about lines”) can convert your scrawls into perfect text at a rate of about 5 characters per second. It recognizes uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
I’m sure modern tablets can do that even better but I haven’t used one I really like the feeling of while writing.
*EDIT: Weight: 9lbs / 4 kg I change my mind, modern tablets are where it’s at
Google dropped Google Glass when it wasn’t profitable within 40 seconds. I know they’re known for having zero patience with projects, but that one still bugs me.
Stadia was never going to fly, the internet speeds lots of people can get is just too low.
Wearable tech has been a thing since before pocketwatches, wtflol
Wearble
Also cake or fake. I could have sworn that was the real Deana Troy .
