Gentlemen, it's time we stopped thinking so "20th Century" on the subject of two-way communications and information displays!
Hell's bells, this is the 21st Century, folks!
Our own children and grandchildren are skyping with handheld devices which surpass the outmoded technology in every Star Trek series ever produced!
Obviously in the 23rd Century people will be communicating with each other and downloading data in a manner that uses both HD images that can fill their visual field, and with stereophonic sound which will be just as dynamic as the headphones I use while listening to music and watching TV in my own living room!
Why would we settle for devices that provide anything less?
So, until our technology can provide us with cranial implants which deliver this visual and audio information directly to our brains — with no need for external devices we wear on our heads — we'll have to be content with tiny ear buds and something similar to (but much more hi-tech) than Google Glas.

Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot (1967) also had lapel communicator badges. Commando Cody: Sky Marshall of the Universe (1953) had them, too.
I always thought they were so cool when I was a kid.
We liked Farscape up until the whole 'Scorpius clone in John's head thing started' and that kind of killed it for us; too much like the clone-in-the-head Cylon chick in the reboot Battlestar Galactica. _________________ "Have you never wondered what it would be like to walk between the ticks and tocks of Time?" |
