Do you think that is possible within 2 years that whenever we go, we can go online with mini-portable computer?
It means while you are waiting outside or lining up for some fun, you can play your computer to websurf.

[Buffy]

Uh, have you ever heard of a Blackberry? PDA? Heck my phone even lets me surf a bit...

Cheers,
Buffy

Iridium will let you surf anywhere in the world, even the middle of a desert or on top of the highest mountains. Did you have something else in mind?

there's been a prediction that within 15 years we will become so dependant on the web that out household utilities will have access to it. as of now though, unless you have a sattellite antenna, you cant go online everywhere on earth...

___I hope to have surgical bolts put into my skull for a snap on eye-piece/computer monitor/video screen.

something even better to save you the agony and humiliation:
i've seen these tiny 1 inch or so screens that go right infront of your eye, and you wear it like sunglasses or something. it's attached to a pack that you can wear or keep by your side. i saw that quite some time ago too, maybe we'll be seeing it in retail soon!

___Yes, like that, but I want it bolted to my skull! They do it for hairpieces already; little gold special surgical skull bolt snaps.
___I will have a little generator put next to my heart so I don't need batteries. Wires lead to a socket near the bolts.

___I more had Borg in mind. I'm blind in one eye, but the retina is good & if an image is projected past the scaring on my cornea, ala eye tests, I could potentially see again in stereo. A sunglass mount is too squirelly for the alignment necessary, whereas the bolts are not. The bolts terminate in snaps, & so if you take a hard hit, the device breaks away like ski boots from bindings.
___I would do it in a minute!

Hey the standard issue night vision for the army/marines is single eye hanging off the helmet and some have computer connections like orb mentions above. But the main thing is: it makes 'em look almost *exactly* like a Borg!
