In Japan a lot of people either don't have a computer at home, or don't have internet access(they usually have a laptop in that case). However the reasons are probably a bit different, the Japanese can obviously afford computers, but since even now most Japanese people don't take work home with them, there really isn't an overwhelming need to have one.
oh man... thats so sad... what they do when they come home after work???? no facebook? no.... ehm... porn?? no news, no email, no skype, no ichat? just your wife kids and stuff??? I ain't going there, no way!
I have an iPhone and it fits ok into my pockets, and I wear regular pants, not some hiphop pants with pockets so large that you may carry few pounds of potatoes inside. And a Big Mac. And still there is room for more.
Well, science is not far from fiction. In Old man's war, Scalzi writes about human clones with altered blood (it's called SmartBlood). This SmartBlood fight infections, keeps oxygen longer... and burns mosquitos:)
I think it is the way we go, to become genetically altered humans. But, really, HUMANS? Or something else? Hell with it. I don't care, just make it work for cancer.
I want to leave this planet, full of pollution, data centers consuming power like cities, wars, crime and stuff. How do I get to these SuperEarths? In my Prius or something??

I find it a pain to type more than just a few sentences on a phone.
I have a multiple sclerosis, which impairs my vision and coordination little bit and I don't have a problem with that at all.
My pockets in my jeans can fit a 7" tablet without much issue.
I have never understood what people complain about with their tiny 3.5" phone.
I guess few bricks would easily fit too? :)

We are, as species... kinda multitasking. We can look at the stars and starve to death...
