One could argue that we're already part way to LCARS with touch-screen technology and icons, mobile touch-screen phones with predictive text. Although I must admit, I never saw Captain Picard swearing when his text message auto-correct to the Romulans created a diplomatic incident.

Anyway, hate to put a dampener on things, but I've had a chat with my sciency friends who are much more up on these things than I am, and they've both said that it's most likely a false measurement. We've had quite a few false alarms before, when something has happened once but failed to live up to expectations when repeated.

If it consistently performs as expected though, then things get very interesting.

...nor do I recall him ever saying "Damn, I've only got one bar" or "Damn these 2 year contracts"...

My Sci-fi/science heart became so happy when I read about it.

Well as some one in the thread wrote-it could very well be wrong in the measuring.

Now I wait for the next article in this adventure, who will either confirm it or say it was a false alarm
