"Used in such areas as crew quarters and in the captain’s ready room, these small desktop monitors were often black or grey with white accents, or taupe-colored with dark accents. These monitors featured a touch-sensitive monitor and a large control button.”
-Memory Alpha Wiki
Ohhhh man. You have no idea how hard it is to write something about a computer display. There’s a good reason why this entry took so long to be conjured into existence. WHAT DO YOU WRITE ABOUT A DESKTOP DISPLAY?
I suppose it’s kind of fun to look back on stuff like this. A desktop monitor that also had interface elements. Really only recently have we started seeing all in one computer designs that are device, monitor, and interface all in a single slab (that aren’t necessarily tablets).
Just another riveting look into future past through the small, round, cardboard window of time.
Related note (spoiler) there are no PADD pogs. Go figure.
