  I mean, cool.

  It’s just that my early 21st century cellphone has more sensors than this 24th century device… 💁‍♂️

    And your cellphone even costs less. (unless you’ve bought a flagship phone)

    Can your cellphone identify the chemical composition of rocks 1000 feet underground, or scan someone for invasive pathogens, or identify lifeforms 10 KM away?

      No.

      Can this Tricorder?

  This disappoints me so much because it’s just a toy, when we have the technology to make a scanning device that is basically a real one (not as magically good, though).

  We basically have a lot of highly advanced technologies already. I don’t think it’ll be long until our lives look like Star Trek.
