Tech: OT >>That's why half of those propeller heads don't have any social skills. They got their heads up their PAN ! Can't wait for all the criminals running around shaking anyones hand when they need a new identity. Make sure you wear your Totes when it rains or your CPU Chip may short. Give me break, the Palm Pilot will do the job now. Perhaps those MIT knuckleheads can come up with a Lith-Poly battery that they could bring to the market before VLNC.<<

LOL! Yah, well, we do need the dreamers roaming the fringes of possibilities don't we? After all, what they were dreaming 10/20 years ago oftimes is mainstream reality today. And I understand they concocted something pretty wild for classical violinist Yo Yo Ma here in recent months.

As for social skills....I'll have to say they look pretty funny wandering MIT campus dressed up in their computer finery.....almost "Borg-like"(Star Trek characters). The funny thing, though, is they tie themselves together in a wireless manner and what'daya know, a weee little Borg community. Uhhhh....on second thought.... maybe that ain't as cute as it sounds. ;-)

Anyway, I can see lot's of uses for wearables in such diverse categories as military/commercial maintenance facilities on ships, aircraft, computer centers, medical centers, etc.. Imagine having all those tech volumes at your "fingertips"(or would that be eye-tips?), all while you're up to your elbows in hardware, grease, blood and/or gasoline?
