Because of smartphones, pocket TVs were never a thing.

As a kid I imagined the future as being able to hold a TV in your pocket, and flying skateboards. For the latter I guess electric scooters will have to do

I am old enough to remember portable tvs.

And actual pocket TVs. Interesting to see OP think they were never a thing. Don't get me wrong, they were shit, but they did exist!

I used one as recent as the mid 2000's. There was some sporting event going on (probably women's world cup) and I wanted to watch the game while playing in Ultimate league. Streaming wasn't as prevalent as it is now and the game was on OTA channel.
