Just FYI, “bluetooth” is a protocol used by wireless headsets. It has many more uses, including things as different as wireless keyboards and mice.

Man, I don’t even own a cell phone. I’m to indecisive to select one and then commit myself to a contract. So I feel like a different species from these bluetooth people. But I predict that one day, they’ll just opt for a chip in their heads, enabling them to connect to and speak with anyone, anytime, no external gadgetry required. The brain cancer would be an added bonus.

Somebody should start an internet myth about Bluetooth ‘frying your brain’

lol. That’ll be hilarious.

I mean these bluetooth things are spreading like disease.

Open Trackback Tuesdays

These aren’t as easy to upkeep as I thought, but it’s an obligation and I have limited time these days, so let me just post a few that looked amusing this week… Comedienne Jenee had a post that tweaked my…

hahahhahaha! you should be here! What was it I said in an entry….something about you know you’re in Sweden when you see someone talking on a headset while text messaging on another phone while yet another one is ringing in their pocket all while they are biking and smoking a cigarette. Now THAT’S talent!

I do agree with you, those headsets are annoying! People wear them everywhere. I am beginning to wonder if they wear them to bed…. :evil:

Taking a phone call in a social situation is just bad. I have been known to leave guests in my house and go to the store after they take the 3rd call. I figure if they are to busy to accept my hosting services I am to busy to listen to half a boring conversation. Since when did taking a call become so important?
I long for the days of no connectivity when I could sit with someone, have a conversation, and make judgments about them silently without interruption.

Remember about a million years when “car phones” had to have an antenna in order to work? There were countless people who so wanted to impress the world that they put a fake antenna on their car. This is what the bluetooth thing reminds me of – someone so flipping insecure that he needs to prove his worth with the latest and greatest gadget. Unless you have no arms – pick up the damned phone and talk like a normal person. (bobgirrl is excused – but lust this once)

I couldn’t agree more. Let’s start a movement. Those things always make me think of the Borg from Star Trek. I have one because it’s the only type of headset my phone will take. (I drive a manual transmission so I have to have a head set.) But I never wear it in public. It’s embarrasing. And as Tiger Woods would say, I feel like a “spaz” when I wear it.

I’m glad there’s someone out there that feels the same way about these things as I do. Out of 100 people wearing them how many are really expecting an urgent call in the next 5 minutes?
