When I was a kid and imagined the future I didn’t spend too much time thinking about the communicator. Kind of boring in the bigger picture.


I did. There was no talking to friends after turning off the computer and then it was also too late to make phone calls. I remember pretend-playing (if that's the English word for it) having conversations in them while already in bed. Nowadays that's not uncommon to do at all

Not that I had a grand vision as, what was I, perhaps 7 years old? But communication and the transfer of information are two of the main things to live for. Neither seems boring or small beans to me at all


Absolutely nothing boring about communicating, but the communicator itself is near/low tech. That’s why we have billions of them already in people’s hands.

Glad you have one!!
