Screens in the palm of the hand and tamagotchi assistants: The race to imagine devices beyond the cell phone

It's too bad that, unlike the weird, quirky electronics 20-30 years ago, these will be totally unusable in several years. The retro computer enthusiasts 20yrs from now will have nothing to make YouTube videos about.
Some will find a niche. There's a dude I watch called "Dankpods" and his schtick is shitty cheap-ass mp3 players from the mid-2000s on up.
On the contrary, lots of "Do you remember this stupid gimmick that was dead and useless within a year?" videos to be made.
