I love this idea of having a mobile that can be used as a mouse on a laptop screen and you can have all your files in a single mobile and you can use the mobile as a camera and also as a distance measuring tool. I just found this photo online and I saved it long ago but I can’t find any brand making this now.

That’s such a cool idea! It’d be awesome to have a phone do all that. If you’re having trouble finding a brand making one, why not check out some apps or crowdfunding sites? You never know, the perfect gadget might just be on its way to the market. Keep your eyes peeled for tech startups too—they’re always cooking up something new!

Well this idea is quite unique, I odn’t know if any company is working on this idea or not. But it is applicable on many levels. May be in future we can have a device like this. I am saving this pic as a reference in my drive. Thanks a lot for sharing.

You are welcome! I found this photo long ago and never did search for it again, currently I am growing anti-digitalism in my mind and want to make a future for myself without anything digital! looool
Doesn’t Samsung Dex do this?

I really don’t know. when it comes to digital things I go backward looool I currently think of getting a tower computer that all parts are separated as old ones so I can replace the parts when needed. And I found CDs more trustable/reliable than other memory cards or could thingies which I never use!

Still a thing. It kinda died down but then custom gaming PCs got super popular. Now it is the tower PCs of the 2000s but try to look nice.

Sorry, “cloud thingies” I meant!
