Personal Communicator (ICD)

Individual Communication Devices (ICD) are very common in most societies. A typical device allows its user to communicate by video, audio, or through text, can connect to whatever society-wide network exists, and runs a selection of useful programs. A personal communicator is typically a small device controlled with hand gestures, but it may take the form of a heads-up device that combines a monocle or visor with an earpiece, a wristwatch, or even a badge worn as a pin on the lapel.
