The other night, some friends and I were hanging out in a hotel room listening to music. At some point, the Eric Benet song "Ghetto Girl" featuring Meshell Ndegocello (dude, I know. I assure you that it was not my iPod. I'm not saying I don't have the album, I'm just saying it ain't on my iPod.), and for the life of me I couldn't remember what album the song appeared on. Neither could anyone else. But we were all too lazy to grab one of our web-enabled phones to Wiki the query and scratch the curiosity itch. I joked that these were the kinds of moments when some kind of transparent Google page needed to appear as if in midair so that one could type in the question without having to move from one's very relaxed position. Someone asked where something like that would generate; I shrugged and replied that maybe it would be like a kind of projection from our eye that just appeared in front of our face. My friend, Imi said it would be called an iChip, and it would probably be inserted in your brain just behind your ear.
