Perhaps one day we will call phones our 'Lil windows to the world'

Screens is way better. Window to the world freaks me out

I think "phone" has been somewhat severed from the "telephone" so unless we come up with a better name that sticks, it's probably here to stay.

Cellular teleporter

I mean if that's what you want.

What I want

is

“pooter”

like

shirt for computer

so ppl who lose theirs have to say “has anyone seen my pooter?”

Mini tablet.

Since they keep making them bigger.

That’s probably the most plausible replacement. Tablet or phablet.

i imagine eventually all the rectangles will be the exact same device just different size screen. It would be weird if we still used phone, tablet, tv just as size categories

Yeah, exactly.

I'm waiting for the implants and those nifty holographic devices that they have in shows about the future.

You could call them "cells"

Another very plausible replacement. Makes more logical sense than phone.

Considering the fact that the process of entering a number to call is still referred to as dialing, despite rotary parts not being relevant for decades...

No. They will be phones for all eternity.
