What’s one of the first cool gadgets you remember seeing and then thinking to yourself, “Oh that would be so cool if it were real!”. For me it was probably the Dick Tracy communicator watch. Not sure why, the logic of it isn’t too outstanding, but at the time I saw it, it seemed so out there, but so useful, it was a perfect match.

I may be a weird one when it comes to my cell phone etiquette but here it goes.
Just because my phone rings doesn’t mean I’m going to answer it.
This could normally be because of two things:
