Datajacks are placed in the head to minimize essence loss due to extensive
wiring. That's why Datajack has essence lose of 0.2 while a smartlink has
essence cost of 0.5. Supporting evidence is the fact that a cyberarm smartlink
cost only 0.25 essence.
Datajack will most-likely be placed on the same side as the person's handedness
for no greater reason than it is easier to plug things in that way.
Amberdexterious people will most-likely have them on the right because of the
7:1 ratio of right to left handed people.
