The stuff that you do happen to know about remains within the sphere of casual hearsay, social media and the idle party chattering that you could not care less about. More than once in the past though, you had kept hearing about some new kind of fancy communications tech. Something about new satellites being launching into space to provide free global service for some new public gimmick. True enough, after a few weeks of rumors, the 'commlink' came out in stores. It was a handy personal communications device that connected everyone to everything. It was like an all in one cell phone that could connect to or control any known wireless electronic device in the world, no matter the distance. It was an amazing piece of tech that caught the world by storm. Within a month, everyone you knew had one. You picked up one of the deluxe editions yourself just last week and you had been using it to track your endless number of party dates, keep in touch with distant friends and even conveniently control or use any wireless electronic device you have at home.
