Well, I can only speak for myself, but I would really like to have
word processing, net browsing and email capability everywhere. My
dream is to have various search agents available that I could send
information gathering with a thought ("What is rheology really?") or
a simple command - anywhere, anytime. The ideal wearable would
combine the pager with the computer with the notebook.
