    Yeah, as if nerds weren't already unpopular enough at parties. Now they walk up to you and POOF, you're covered in info that everyone in the room can see. No thanks.

    What a great excuse to grope strangers. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to fondle your breasts. I was trying to send an email. Do you mind if I try again? - this is a very important email."

    Not only a leap in technology, but imagine the things it will do for people's posture and politeness as everyone will have to stand perfectly still so they can make a cell phone call without mis-dialing. No more pushy loudmouths in the airport on their Jabras, just business men standing ramrod straight 2 feet from a wall so they can check their emails. I love it.
