Really? I don't have a cell phone so have no idea what you can do with a cell phone.

Yes, modern cellphones have tons of features, such as Internet, texting (which is a form of chatting) and lots of other features.

Usually you have to put in the website or number, theres usually no automatic dialing.. you have to put in first..

So it can't read your mind, even before you have a thought to go to a web site or call a certain number?

Maybe, but it likely won't stay to long I would assume.

I doubt that would ever really take off in the public marketplace, too many ethical issues imo..

They may have some sort of cap or something that can read brain waves and translates into certain functions on the cellphone.  Maybe no screen and instead they have a small light that you look at that puts an image directly onto your retinas.

I've started collecting Hyperthreaded 3.2ghz P4 computer systems (so long as they can handle at least 4gb of ram).  I dunno why but I really like 'em even though they're old.

Most humans like giving up control for this or that reason and already do so.
