...a Star Trek communicator or Dick Tracy watch. And now it's here. And it sucks more than it doesn't. Oh well, the musings of youth...

I have a love-hate relationship with smart phones. I love that I have access to pretty much the entire volume of knowledge of the entire planet, carried around in my pocket. Much more convenient than a set of Britannicas, and much lighter and compact. But it's not just a knowledge access point, but also a communications device. Which means you can't hide any more. People expect you to respond to calls, texts, emails because, why not? There is no excuse for a delayed response because it's right there, in your pocket or in your hand!

Anyways, good toon.
