Bluetooth
Posted by Ryan Woods
These freak me out a bit. I'm sure that many of my readers use them, but this technology creeps me out hard core. It's like the first stage to being one with the borg (I'm no Trekkie, so I hope that I used that in the right way).
Imagine, for a second, those old school head sets that we used to use like three years ago. You know, the ones that sit on your head like head gear, they've got the mouth piece that comes around all the way to your mouth. Could you imagine if someone walked around with one of those on their heads all the time? Wouldn't we all want to stone people who did that? (if your answer is yes...please don't make it known)
Ok, so you've got a cool Bluetooth hands free ear bud thing, but do you have to leave it on your head all the time? I never know when you're on the phone and when you're talking to me! I always feel like I'm interrupting a conversation. I just don't like it. It's weird. It's rude. It's...creepy.
Dear Bluetoothers,
The rest of us keep our phones in our pockets. When the phone rings we pull it out and put it up to our ear. When the conversation is over, well, we put it back in our pocket. I understand that your phone is much cooler than most of ours, that holding your blackberry up to your ear would look silly, your arm might get tired, etc. But maybe you could just put up your borg earpiece into your ear only when you're on the phone? Or at the very least, maybe you could just take it out of your ear when you're out at dinner with your wife and kids! Please understand, I know you're important, but please, just do it for the kids. They are our future.
Thanks.
