I was thinking of a combadge as well, although that product already exists, in a bluetooth form, along with a TOS communicator. I used to get people doing double takes when I used that communicator as a 'phone,' especially if it went 'boop boop' indicating incoming call, and I flipped it out and started using it.

The whole cyberpunk thing disturbs me, as I'm more wanting to return to the 1950s way of life. Every time I watch The Andy Griffith Show I keep saying "I would be happy in Mayberry" I think we lost a lot with the dependence on internet, smartphones, and how cold and sterile towns look today with all the overly white LED streetlighting, and Times Square style digital billboards.

I would just be a lot happier if there were some way I could find one slice of city where time stopped after 1960. Shop there exclusively, then return to my already time-capsule home. Of course, any illusion is ruined the instant someone whips out a smartphone and starts a'scrollin'
