Did Slag and senior miss the cool train? - PBX Info :: Your Free PBX, PABX and Telephone Information Resource

What's with everyone walking around with these damn 'bluetooth' things sticking out of thier heads like some sort of growth? I understand the idea behind it but people don't seem to take them off anymore - my boss has two of them sticking out of his head evern when he is in meetings.

At first I thought it was just him being himself but the more I look around the more people I see with growths sticking out of their heads - the senior is in school this week and reports that everyone in the class except for him has a growth and never takes it off.

So I ask - Did we miss the cool train somewhere?

Ah, well. Soon it will be jacking in like in the Matrix movie.

Its part of the "future"... according to many.

But, IMHO, cell phones are a part of the "future" I will miss out on.
The last one I had is sitting under the "Amazon Queen" in our marina.
If they ever get them so thay are as good as a land line, I might reconsider. ..ng ...t of a sen... jus... ..ipes .y ..lls.

Why??? so more and more of the STUPID can drive around and be able to talk MORE and BETTER while "driving" worse?? If I ever get my "three wishes" from a genie, poof... cell phones will be gone!

They look silly. I saw a KID walking with his mom in the store the other night and he was talking just not to her. She was talking back to him. It was funny as he##! The kid look like he was arguing with himself.

I think the things look dorky and will not have one, but those that have them probably think that they look cool and signify that the wearer is technologically up to date...and of course, has 'bling'.

Sort of like pagers did 30 years ago. On my first 'real' job out of high school, I printed reports in a data center. There was a guy there that used to hang out at the local watering hole where, supposedly, nurses and doctors from a large hospital in town hung out. In an effort to look cool and impress the nurses that he so relentlessly hit on, he carried not only his company pager, but also one that he got from somewhere else. The story around work was that he carried 2 pagers, so he could look like one of the doctors and pass himself off as a doctor to the nurses. I guess that 2 blue tooth thingys make you twice as important, just as 2 pagers would.

Uggg, no. I have a wired one that I only use when I need both hands working on something while talking to some support person. Otherwise it sits in my daypack. No need to wear one all the time. Just another spot for radiation to leak in.

I can see the nurse's response now the first time he told one that he spent five hours in surgery the day before removing a frammelberry from the calypsoid.
