I still remember reading about that years ago. The book was Cat Scratch Fever by Tara K Harper. Ever since I read that I've wanted something in my head that let me access books and music and such. Once Google came into my life I wanted it even more - there are so many times that I'm not by a computer that I could use instant information.

And with regards to the original post, all those are perfectly valid issues and yet I still enjoyed it greatly. :)
