For those of us who cannot bear to be alone with their thoughts and must inform the world of every breath they take, I’m sure this will be a godsend. I never had a need for a smart phone, don’t need a pad or tablet or whatever, and will probably not need a two-way wrist radio either. People can easily reach me at home since I’m there most of the time … and surprisingly few people seem to have the need.
People don’t call you, or you need to call them, because you’re not responsible for /2/0/3/ /4/3/0/ 490 lives aboard a military faster-than-light-speed starship, nor are you a cartoon police officer, nor do you drive a talking car. Become one of the examples in the commercial and your call volume will rise accordingly.
Don’t, and your rate will be steady-state, much like Sir Fred Hoyle’s theory of the Universe.
The fact that I feel compelled to say this is, I suppose, due to my feeling too alone in my thoughts, which is not nearly as good a reason for sitting at a keyboard throughout much of the day as was Dr. Asimov’s, or Mr. Pohl’s.
