I'd like a wearable one that I could activate on demand if the authorities or some other thugs pull me over or confront me. That would presuppose an uplink to some service that would monitor and record these events for possible legal/security interaction. Thousands of Rodney Kings.

     They have got to be the ultimate communications
device particularly if

     we can get them down to gnat-size.

 

     Bandwidth is the obvious constraint at the
moment but somewhere

     between satellite LEOS (v2.001k), cels G3
and perhaps the next generation of GSM we must be getting close.

 

     When brainstorming some possible applications
I got :-

 

     - great bootleg concert webcasts

 

     - the ultimate "wish you were here" realtime
digital postcard

 

     - great personal security & deterrent
device

       " Patch me thru to McGarret! ... 
Book Him Danno"      & if your server is down
, get a digital mugshot (the Web's Most Wanted?)

 

     - we could all be special correspondents for
CNN - no thanks !

 

     - & now for the nice stuff       
perhaps share your precious moments ( mountain top sunrises?) with loved-ones

        &/or the world

 

     And for those really mega-events (perhaps
the dawn of the

     new-millennium somewhere near the DateLine
in a Pacific paradise) a good proportion of

     the populace could come close to a feeling
of being part of that often

     dreamt about,  ultimate good-vibe of
universal consciousness.

 

     I'd love to get some dialog going on WWVs
and where they may take us.
