And, as he said in an interview, he's online as well, so when he's in the shop his wife would frequently send shopping lists to his little eye-display..
About a year ago, I read Vernor Vinge's "Rainbow's End", which dealt with a futuristic "wired-in" society using wearable computers, contact lenses with built-in video, etc. Very cool book! You can read a preview here.
