Microwave Phone! (hyperlink embedding is broken!)
The second it gets proven to work is the second all bets are required to be made 72 hours in advance. Same with other time sensitive business. In the long run its a minor thing in this field.
The other issue is that governments like the US government already have laws against this kind of thing having large scale effects. Already computer technology is on a delay to the public... this is so the government can have time to make counter measures and defenses against new things and not implode because two companies are having technological one-up-manship wars that destroy everything. I am for these laws. These laws are also why it seems that computers and such are upgrading at such a standardize pace.
From a personal/civilian level, use the tomorrow phone get fired. Those whippersnappers will love this doohickey... to the point of not hanging up the stupid tommorrowphone. Idiots can't stop walking and talking to themselves in the future. Idiots do not wield Reading Steiner and therefore can't avoid getting Darwin awards by talking to their future selves. As Darwin award winners that aren't just sterile can't report that their phone had a dead battery... and morons are stupid... I'm expecting large portions of Tommorrowphone addicts to be paranoid and suicide prone.
I expect the most basic issue is that addicts keep spoiling movies and shows for themselves and keep not watching things, because they already did and it sucked... or was good and now they know the good parts. As a happy side effect I'm seeing the quality of TV and Movies going up as if it sucks people won't actually go to watch it in the first place,... as they already wasted that time on it and want their hour and a half/two hours and their money back.
