psychology of the screen, the computer, the low light hologram

We seem to have made computers in the image of some blissful, entrancing light and a power beyond ourselves (which I suppose they are nowadays), like we're moths to their porchlight. We chose to put technology on a glowing screen like it's some kind of luminescent angel. They speak of computer monitors going three dimensional using holograms. I've seen interpretations or artist visions of how the holograms might look and the holographic technology is always glowing too, the recorded messages left in Star Wars for instance (or was it Star Trek?), were glowing from the inside like a heavenly ghost. Why? Wouldn't it be nice to have our computers transmit to us on our own plain, in a way that's more natural to absorb, maybe with less staring? Then monitoring and working might not give me as much of a headache as it does with the screens everyone uses today. The screen stare feels a bit like a mild lobotomy to me. We don't glow; why should our technology? It just puts us in an armchair to be deer in headlights, there's a certain intimidating or at least awe-inspiring factor about staring at a screen.

Doesn't making things glow more use more light, more energy? Would it not only conserve but be more comforting on the eyes, the brainwaves and the psyche to make these supposedly imminent hologram monitors matte or natural tone with an intuitive number of frames per second or frequency, a luminance from our own plain, resembling our everyday surroundings and surfaces? How about even our flat screens, could we make something that was more ink and paper-like, and most likely much less toxic? I'm not sure how bad flat screen technology is in the Mt. Trashmores of our planet but I can't imagine it's great for the soil, water, or air. Unfortunately I still don't credit quite enough people to think that everyone is dumping/recycling their flat screens responsibly (however that's done). Correct me if I'm wrong there you'd make my day. Statistics anyone, percentages?
