Papyri. Or how to spend a salary on a pretty toy.

The most common way to access the mare cognitionis (lit. sea of knowledge, usually abbreviated in maco -onis. Like internet) are Papyri, sheets of electric foldable plastics that have all the functions of a computer, but are way more powerful then anything that exists now. And people still use them primarly for porn and stupid games. They have a rigid edge around which the sheet is rolled up when stored away. There are different brands with different specifics, but all have a common structure. All of them have a touch interface and are capable of projecting things in 3D, and can directly connect to the user brain if the user has the right connections.
