Blue-tooth headsets.

[padi56]

I may be getting to a more mature age now,and sometimes hi-tech gadgets overpower me but these blue-tooth phone headsets.

I'm given to believe that people wear these things as it allows them to
A) multi-task
B) be hands free
C) Be ready just in case....? (in case of what ?)

The fact that they look like some cyborg t#ss#r out of Star Wars. Is something which I assume, to be part of a conspiracy among spotty, virgin,Matrix obsessed, socially retarded gadget designers who dream of people all looking and walking around like cyborg t#ss#rs.

I would go on to consolidate my opinion by looking at facts.Why they say you need blue-tooth phone headset,just encase you are eating, got to go to the toilet,using your both your hands.(not in the toliet I hope it could make you go blind so they say)


By the same vein of logic should I not have a roll of toilet paper hanging round my neck and a bucket slung between my legs if I need a quick toilet?. Or perhaps I should stitch a knife and fork to my shirt cuffs just in case I get a bit peckish?

The fact that in the course of any day I assume I will eat and use the toilet at some point is given, must put headset in. (yeah yeah but just talking sh*te doesn't count) Yet the chances of taking a phone call,that justifies walking down the street looking like an utter tosss#r. With one of these blue-tooth thingies stuck in my ear-hole is very remote.

I suspect that there is a very large market just for the housing, with a flashing blue LED in the ear piece.

I'm no Luddite, but sometimes technophobics don't know their ars# from the elbow. Anyone remember the great day when digital watches first appeared, and you had to use two hands to tell the time? because you had to activate the effing screen???

Walked around the town centre today, Blue-tooth headsets,stuck in the ear-holes of mainly teenagers,and some older 20s-30s year olds, it's become a fashion accessory now, that only serves one purpose; to distance the user from any sense of reality.

In the car blue-tooth is very sensible accessory,but walking around the streets,having your food,sat on the loo, or doing the shopping with one stuck in your ear hole, with the little blue light flashing WTF for. Just switch the bloody phone off if they really what to contact you they will ring back,(hang on beam me up Scottie.

Now don't deny it Peter, you really don't like the manly ear jewelry either

I think it goes right along with people using tablet computers to take pictures instead of a camera (or phone).

Have to agree with you Peter..

But today's generation's entire being and self-worth revolves around being connected to their "social network". It will get worse before it gets better..

Yup. I don't see them much anywhere else anymore. Used to be everywhere.

I use a Jawbone, no blue light! On the other hand, I could never figure out why my wife talks to her family for 30 or 40 minutes with her phone stuck in her ear, when she could set the phone down and walk around the house ding things.

I'm a salesman, I use one........I need to be in contact w/ customers, I use it in the car.....take it off when I'm out of the car.

Torn rotator cuff. Frankly I'm very uncomfortable holding the phone for the length of time it takes to call my mother and listen to her talk of prescriptions, knee surgery and old people maladies ad nausium. Thanks to Bluetooth I can "uh-huh" and "yup" for as long as it holds it's charge.

It's an important accessory for me,

I have no use for such a headset nor the phone to which it is linked. My phone is made by Western Electric, solid black, with a nice metal dial. It hangs on the wall in the kitchen where the Bell Telephone technician hard wired it. I have not yet gotten over the discontinuance of the name in the prefix. Why did they need to change WYman 2 to 992?
