The main protagonist in Star Cops ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Cops ) had "box" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYsbD5hewig back in the 80s :) It could cast things to nearby screens also :o) The screenless future isn't going to happen, but reducing the time that people stare at their phones would be awesome.

While I think screens will never completely disappear, I feel that many of the appliances that are gaining them now (refrigerators? why?) should lose them as soon as possible.

Those screens do not make the appliances that have them better or smarter, like the marketing department of samsung&co. want us to believe.
