  Ummm.. can someone please explain share I just saw? There's no description about what this is. Atleast on mobile.

  tl;dr a series of satirical photos of people holding a piece of glass milled in the shape of a conventional, contemporary cellphone. For a longer video equivalent, see motherboard's youtube video review of a display phone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CurrggRdaUY

  In these situations, I'm reminded of Bret Victor's criticism of planar interaction http://worrydream.com/#!/ABriefRantOnTheFutureOfInteractionD... . Unfortunately, until we are closer to programmable matter or an economic powerglove https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAeViKt45eA I doubt we will escape the local maxima of variety we can offer via a touchscreen
