Type | Electronic wrist wear |
First appearance | "Space Pilot 3000" (1ACV01) |
A Wristlojackimator is a device worn on the wrist, which has a wide variety of functions.
Information
The device itself may be called something other than "Wristlojackimator", since Leela usually refers to it either as "this thing", "this thing on my wrist" or "my wrist thingy". She only refers to it as a wristlojackimator once (2ACV11), and may in fact have been referring to the tracking beacon function she was using at the time ("wristlojackimator" contains the phrase "lo-jack"—a popular anti-theft tracking device for 20th-21st century cars).
Wristlojackimators may in fact have independent artificial intelligence, as Leela's detaches itself and leaves during the The 3001 Robot Uprising incited by Mom on Mother's Day, and tells her she should wash her wrist more often.
These multi-functional devices are operated by means of buttons and voice commands. They are available in a variety of models and colors.
It may have been inspired by the tricorders from Star Trek.
It is similar to the Pip-Boy, a device containing text information, maps, vital signs, and more in the video game series Fallout.
