Thumb LCD screens and cameras   (0)  [vote for, against]
Thumbnail LCD screens display what is below thumb (via tiny cameras) for texting on unfamiliar phones.

Tiny LCD screens on your thumbs combined with miniature cameras on your thumb-pads would effectively create invisible thumbs, allowing you to efficiently text on phones where you are unfamiliar with the keypad.

[4][5][6]
[7][8][9]
[*][0][#]

While I think little screens on your fingernails would be kinda fun, that's such a mundane use for them, it cancels out my croissant. Sorry.

Especially since covering your entire body in tiny camera/LCD pairs, each communicating wirelessly with its complement on the opposite side of your body, would render you invisible. Hey, wait, I need to post that.

Too late, that has already been posted.
