so funny i guess the advantage obviously is it's like a small little device you could just put somewhere versus like a screen but yeah yeah and you're like oh it's like you know it's like uh the the hologram projections of star wars or something you're like yeah that's cool but you still need to you still need a you know a screen or something to you to project on so it is a screen at the end of the day you kind of still project it onto something
Yeah, and like I said, you fold it up, you put it in your thing and it rolls out or whatever else.
But I still think there's going to be that thing.
If you look at Her, if you remember the movie Her, they had glass.

And then it was like, okay.
Then it was all software mobile stuff again.
Like, okay, we don't need anything.
But we can't get to the next level of software if we don't make the next level of hardware.
And the revolution has to happen completely.
Like you got to have the mobile network and the mobile network software for the mobile network to work.
