Accessory life. Now becoming essential? Maybe. It's no longer about having a mobile phone, a satellite navigation unit or lightspeed notebooks. It's about having all of it, compact into a mobile device that you can't live without. How did we manage before? A thirty year old will remember having to ask mum or dad to use the landline phone, or walking to the phone box. Computers were posh word processors over a typewriter and you were considered up to date if you had the previous issue of A-Z in your fiesta XR2. Now? Mobile devices with 3G connectivity, instant messaging, global mapping and tracking, remote access your other hardware, your house and even one day, your wife - using virtual reality? Well it's becoming a reality, lets just hope hackers are a thing of the past be then!
