you are in a situation where you can't get to your cel phone but it may be in range. It would be cool to have a device that remained on your person such as a necklace (the Nokia Medallion necklace came to mind while I thought of this).

We then have the makings of a global network which spans countries and languages. Such a network can reach many more people than 'a network of computers'.
