What I love about the TNG PADDs is when they show someone who is swamped with work, they'll be carrying stacks of the friggin' things. Like, they went out of their way to design something that would be instantly recognizable as "the future" and yet the couldn't (or wouldn't) imagine actually using them any differently than an armful of books.I remember reading that the prop department in Star Trek TNG had thought they had designed the PADD’s such that nothing like that would see widespread use anytime soon. This iPad isn’t a prop, is actually functional and likely thinner than what they were using on TNG
Look at this 24th Century Desk, lol. Books would actually be easier to deal with, compared to 14 iPads.
