    I think the ability to just flick your phone display to any larger display nearby like they do would be pretty rad but would require a secure and universal protocol that every display manufacturer would need to follow, so this is probably just as unlikely as the plexiglass tablet phones they use in the show.

      In a lot of dystopian scifi, basically everything, especially everything on one station, is manufactured and owned by one corporation. If Weyland-Yutani makes your handheld device, your wall monitor, the wireless AP in your apartment, the cell tower outside your apartment, the cell tower outside your apartment, and even your apartment itself, there’s probably some integration.
