RICO's:  Wrist computers.

A wide variety of RICO's (AKA Wrist Computers, Lisocom, HANDI's, etc.).  Most personal and day-to-day infopro takes place through these devices, at least when not near a major station.  A wide variety of styles and functions are of course available, though of course fashion is as important as usefulness for most users.  The most expensive models don't even look like RICO's; they are completely voice- or direct nerve input- controlled.  The next level up, of course, is not having a RICO at all; some people have their info systems directly implanted into their bodies, and the richest of the rich flaunt the fact that they don't need to keep up with information, and so have no personal infosystems at all.
