Technology: Cure or Curse?

#2
I always see people talking on BOO-TOOF in the gym while they're working out. Quite funny. Although, I did buy one for when I'm driving around in the car and don't want to hold the phone up to my ear, or for those long conversations while I'm at home. Rarely use it in public though.

I think it's great for the busy tech-support person or while driving, but please people, unless you're taking calls all the time, take the thing out of your ear when you're not using it... you look ********. Seriously. :rollno:

How about this...................the technology is there so why do folks still talk on their cell phone in one hand while driving?? Standard corded ear pieces have been available for 10 frikkin' years now! And the Bluetooth devices available for drivers and basic hands free operation has been available for a while now!

I agree, if you ain't talkin', take that crap outta your ear! It does look stupid!

I have a Jawbone bluetooth earpiece. I like it a lot because it sounds better than my phone and has noise cancelling mumbo jumbo built in so that I can be somewhere noisy and still have a conversation without irritating who I'm talking to (with the environment - it doesn't help me out personally, sadly).

It also makes it easier to do things while sitting in on conference calls, which is mainly why I got it.

I do take it out when I'm not using it. Those things make people look like they have a wang stapled to the side of their head. I can't believe it's turned into such a status symbol.

But will I be able to differentiate you from a crazy homeless guy on the street?
