Data Term™: this is a curbside computer terminal, with access to news, weather, city maps, events schedules and other useful stuff. A DataTerm can also be used as a plug-in point to the Net. Terms are mounted in concrete pillars and are nearly indestructible. Theoretically.

CredChip Account: a "debit card" that you use to carry your cash around in instead of a wallet.

Air: just what it says. In the U.S., Britain, and some parts of Eastern Europe, the daily pollution gets so bad that you need to go to a miscellany of "air bars", vendors, or streetcornes machines to buy a decent breath.
