Well, Willis may have been very wrong about her vision of futuristic telephone service, but it looks like one of her more extravagant ideas may be turning into rudimentary reality:

An Australian startup revealed its flagship product, an earpiece that can interpret 8 different languages in real-time, at a United Nations event in Switzerland on Friday.

I read it and immediately thought of Kivrin's translator, heh.
