Notable alumni
gollark: It doesn't take very long to retrieve a phone from a pocket. You could even bind different types of message to different sounds or vibration patterns on it if it mattered much.
gollark: Plus biometrics, but those don't seem useful either.
gollark: You basically just get to read notifications slightly faster and recharge it constantly, at great expense.
gollark: I know some people with "Apple Watches" and stuff, but they don't actually seem very useful.
gollark: (it's smart because it has a microcontroller in it, probably)
