Heh. Sorry, babe. Happens to be a fetish of mine, but we'll leave that asside.... *looks innocent*<br/><br/>Kythia, I think you may have missed an important bit of information:<br/><br/>In this twenty second century, the greatest advance in technology is one that was a medical break through in the second decade of the twenty first century...<br/><br/>In the news, late last year (http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-12-18/paralysed-woman-controls-robot-arm-with-brain/4432994), scientists reported attaching a microchip to the brain of a disabled woman, that gave her the ability to move a mechanical arm just by thinking about it.<br/><br/>This is the dawn of a new era. Just as James Watt seeing his first steam engine move a crude treadle was to revolutionise not only manufacturing but transportation, and Alexander Graham Bell revolutionised communications, so the cranial microchip implant will revolutionise every aspect of life.<br/><br/>Imagine never having to actually pick up a device to make a phone call? Imagine never having to type anything ever again? Imagine never having to forget anything ever again?<br/><br/>That chip in your head will enable you to do anything you can currently do using your iPad or tablet or computer or smartphone, but just by thinking about it!<br/><br/>I believe in my original character specification, I said that every character has a microchip in their head (commonly refferred to as an Implant), unless the player can give mne a really compelling reason why the character would not have one.<br/><br/>As a reporter, I would have thought it essential - record everything you see and hear to a .mp6 file inside your brain (how useful would that be in a car accident, hmm?), then attach the file to an email and send it wirelessly to the TV network. Or isolate stills from the recording and send them to a wireless printer...<br/><br/>Anyway, I'm waxing rhapsodic...<br/><br/>Point is, your character shouldn't need to use a mnemonic to remember people's names...
