Transhumanism creeps in on little nano feet. It sits looking out over the species, then moves in.

iOptik Smart Contact Lenses: Innovega ContactsGoogle is developing...and already has a prototype...contact lenses that monitor and report blood glucose levels in real time. This could be a real boon to diabetics worldwide.
And pretty much put most of the companies who sell testing strips and meters out of business.

Going back the the original Start Trek...the communicators exist.As do the little plastic cards that stored data. Have you ever noticed that there is no wifi in the Star Trek universe?
Especially in TOS and even in TNG, Kirk and Picard were always getting electronic clipboards handed to them by comely Ensigns awaiting their signatures.
Why can't these forms and communiques be sent over electronically?

I had to explain to my daughters that this was unavailable at the time, and they had to have a crew member push a button as the actor approached. There are out-takes on YOutube where the timing gets off and Spock walks right into the door.

We’ve got it, in every detail. Except it’s in the phone, not the watch.
To: Bloody Sam Roberts
It was probably a naval thing.
Battlestar Galactica (The new one) had wireless, too. But Adama and the rest still had to sign things for work requests, shipping details, etc.
