  If we're talking Star Trek humanity cosplay, our best bet would be to sort out communicators first. We're almost there. It already works reliably, just needs to be made to respect privacy and be completely free.

    I think it could be made free as long as we lower our expectations. If you want anybody to be able to make calls for free, that’s one thing and i think it could be feasible (probably already feasible by now). If on the other hand you want everyone to be able to make 4k60fps group video calls that’s unlikely, at least for now.

      I'm fine with just voice calls. Or maybe 360p30fps calls, I don't mind. As long as the communicator is free (I don't have to pay to have it or replace it for the newer version) and private (I can be sure no one will listen or record). If we slow it down, I think humanity can manage without 4k, with a 50% cut in digital entertainment, and without buying new expensive useless communicators each couple of years.
