In Some Lab, Somewhere

So I have become, at last, a child of my times.  I am sitting in Starbucks, drinking Starbucks coffee, with a laptop on my lap, using Starbucks WiFi. How more contemporary could I be?  I guess I could be using the voice-to-text app and murmuring into my iPhone, while looking through a Google Glass (tm) but that would make me much younger than I am.  Anyway, I have a deep-seated disbelief in those applications.  They cannot actually exist, can they? Not in regular people's possession.  Possibly in some laboratory somewhere.
