It seems now that wi-fi around, commlinks are a must-have for every person. But does this lead to datajcks being must-haves too? I figure that if the use of commlinks and therefore AR almost requires datajack, since who in their right minds would want to use a keypad to control everything, if you can do it via your datajack with your mind alone? Or is there something I'm missing here, I understand that you can control your commlink with a datajack with no cables required? So why doesn't like 95% of the people have datajacks?
