There's an idea who's time has come.

My guess is that it will be a Bluetooth screen that you wear like a pair of sunglasses that can hook you up to the internet.

That really seems impractical. I mean, the person would need to be sitting down or something. They certainly couldn't drive, or ride a bike, or walk about. They could hit a tree while checking their email, or get hit by a car while looking at porn. But it sounds neat.

My prediction is that cell phones will actually evolve into tiny devices that are planted into one's brain. One second a guy is sitting quietly on the subway, the next he's laughing and saying things like, "Naw, naw man, she didn't.." Then all the other passengers will look at each other and smile. "Got a call on his brain phone", they'll say.

Next big thing? Cell phones shaped like huge vibrators that ALSO have electronic toothbrush attachments!!! Oh... wait... is that gross? Hm... maybe I shouldn't drink and freep....

I think you have something there. A dildo phone with a toothbrush attachment. Maybe a pen on the end of it and a place for headphones.

I'd like to see one that sends a 30-volt shock whenever the stop light turns green.

you would see people looking like they are nuts because of their bizarre hand movements while acting like they are in a trance because they are paying no attention to the world around them

ENOUGH about Michael J. Fox already!

Just give me a strong signal and a clear connection. I just want to make a damn phone call.

Damnedest thing is that the worst reception I have with my cell is at home. Everywhere else I go, reception is fine. At home, it's weak.

You could adjust the darkness/transparency level of the sunglass screen. For driving, you would want completely transparent. For walking partially transparent so you could also see the Web. For sitting, completely opaque so you see only the Web.

"Damnedest thing is that the worst reception I have with my cell is at home. Everywhere else I go, reception is fine. At home, it's weak."

Could be your phone. I just bought a new phone last night. My two year old phone wouldn't connect at my new address (really far out in the woods). New phone works like a champ. Same location, same service provider, much better performance.

My grip is the limited number of just cell phones available. Some employers don't like picture phones. Only two phones available with my provider that didn't have a camera.

However it would be great, for example, for guys waiting for their wives at the shopping malls to do the shopping.

Or you could pull the dress out of your crack and let her shop by herself

Actually, they'll plug into your ears and download the Internet directly into your brain. (Though, that didn't work out so well on Dr. Who last night.)

In the 1967 movie, "The President's Analyst" the major powers of the world are chasing James Coburn's character because he is the President's analyst and is priviy to the secrets that reside in the POTUS!

A dark force keeps the Russkies, Chincoms, French, German, Japanese and other spooks at bay.

Finally, the doctor is brought before this organization and its

GULP! the Telephone Company!

The Telephone Company wants to bribe the President with the secrets that Coburn has. Why? They want the President to pass a law that all people's names will be changed to their telephone number. Bell Labs has developed a pea sized telephone device which would be implanted in everyones brain. Their names are now numbers and instantaneous telephone communications would be possible with these wireless devices which would tie the world together.

There was a Clarke SciFi story where the world telephone system grows to the point where the number of computer circuits are larger than the neurons in a human brain. When this happens....A new entity is born.

IBM - ONE = HAL!!!
