What if Hitler invented the BMW i3 Subcompact Electric car?
I'd think 4 touchscreens in a "fannypack" design with thin screens could be pretty awesome. Two would fold out on the sides for text input and one would fold out to the front and there'd be the bottom panel. It's at a good enough distance you could probably see the screen well with a good resolution. The batteries and some processing would be dispersed on the belt to minimize heat.

Just a thought, seems like something new. Hopefully someone smarter and more motivated can GoFundMe if they think it's a good idea.

The idea still seems feasible, heat could be dissipated into your uterus.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

I thought you people had good fashion sense.

Yes but with touch screens.

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.
People would look at you and think you're admiring your dick and then think that's probably because you must have a massive dick to admire it like that so they'll come talk to you to see your massive dick only to realize you're staring at a bunch of nerd screens.

If you could make the screens go away on command it'd probably work for getting laid. That or you can just stare at your dick without the screens I guess but that'd be kind of boring unless your dick really is massive.

I think the wearable computer isn't a bad idea because the tech hasn't been feasible but because it's a wearable computer.

If you're out doing stuff get off the loving computer.

Much like google glass it would make anyone wearing it instantly recognizeable as a dumbass to be avoided, so yeah I'm all for it.
