TechnologyCommunication

Clear as Tech

Effort: 10 minutesImagine this: You pull a sleek, glass-like phone out of your pocket. You can see through it. It looks like something out of a sci-fi movie—but companies like Samsung, Xiaomi, and LG are experimenting with this very concept. Transparent phones could offer new ways to interact with technology, but also raise questions about privacy, practicality, and even fashion. Your Task: Read this quick scenario: You're part of a student design team asked to present your opinion on whether transparent phones should become mainstream. Your team has been invited to pitch your take to a tech company looking for Gen Z insight. 🧠 Think About: How would a transparent phone change how we use tech? What are the pros (e.g., futuristic design, cool factor)? What are the cons (e.g., battery placement, screen visibility, privacy)? 📝 Answer this question: Would you want a transparent phone to be the new normal? Why or why not? In 3–5 sentences, share your opinion and back it up with at least one benefit and one challenge of this new tech. Bonus: What other transparent tech could exist in the future? Glass laptops? See-through TVs? Would they be helpful or just hype? More
