Think "PADDs" in Star

You keep pulling me into something that'll likely turn into a rant.
I do??
I am no fan of TNG, and I don't know what they
are.
PADD is an acronym for Personal Access Display Device or something
along those lines. It basically means, well, "tablet". They're
everywhere, practically disposable, in TNG/DS9/Voyager.
I know the original
series was considered pc in it's time. But TNG was order of
magnitudes more so.
Yes.
So much so I'm sure if it was produced today,
Riker and Picard would be having sex in the turbolifts between
decks.
No doubt.
