Well certainly to some it's above their price, but the general population, hell.

I myself don't have the luxury of being able to be cell phone free. I am dependant on communications as I work in communications.
I can see how this device would make my life far easier too, hell I could work from home full time with something like that. I could do that now, but at least I would not be confined to an office.
I haven't heard any pros from you yet Spartan .

I'm with SKL on this. His last picture of the puppet master sums it up quite nicely. Whatever humans are I know this is something we were never meant to be. Every new technology creates whole new sets of ethical and moral questions that are never explored until after these gadgets hit the market.

I do not care to join the Borg. Think what you want but each new invention is one step away from humanity and freedom and one more step towards absolute control, either physically, economically or spiritually.

The sad irony is how we welcome our own demise.

The last words I heard on the video were "BRAIN IMPLANT".
If that is how it's done, that aspect was never discussed, that I am aware of. Wow, "brain implant" was just sort of shoved under the rug until the very last line.
Always a catch!
Historical
George Lucas has stated that many historical events have been used in the Star Wars saga, for example, that the Empire was based on Nazi Germany. The stormtroopers from the movies share a name with the Nazi stormtroopers (see also Sturmabteilung). The imperial officers' uniforms also resemble some (historical) German Army uniforms (see Waffen-SS). In addition, some World War II terms may have been used for names in Star Wars; examples include the planets Kessel (a term that refers to a group of encircled forces) and Hoth (Hermann Hoth was a German general). The Great Jedi Purge alludes to the events of The Holocaust. In addition, Lucas has said that he modeled Palpatine and his rise to power after such historical dictators as Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte and Adolf Hitler.[7] Furthermore, Darth Vader's helmet shares a similar appearance with the German Army helmets of World War II.
