and a waste of braincells

Does everyone here understand the concept of “hands free headsets” for cell phones? Duh, the name alone should say it all. Hands free meaning you don’t need to use your hands when using a cell phone to talk. It leaves you hands free to do other things, like driving (not recommended), typing, writing and even making up and down movements with your hands while holding you private parts. To me this was a great idea, even better when the cord connecting the cell phone to the headset was cut off with Bluetooth technology, though because of that the headset is now a bit bigger to carry the battery. No biggy to me anyways.

So why the question at the beginning of the article? Simple, after what I saw today, the question just begs to be asked. As I got in line in the cafeteria today I noticed the guy in front of me had his right hand around his ear, I figured he was talking on his cell like everyone does, till his other hand caught my attention. I noticed his cell phone was on his left hand, so I thought “well a wireless hands free headset, probably Bluetooth”, and that’s when it hit me, Why did he have his right hand next to his ear if his cell phone was on his left hand? This was like the dumbest thing I had ever seen in my life. This was like paying $60 to have your hand next to your ear. I checked out the price of the headset and it was about $60, but why would anyone spend $60 on a gadget, whose soul purpose is to give you hands free use, just to use your hands to hold it to talk? Why not just keep using the cell phone in that matter? I’m not one to talk about wasting money, that’s why I am in some financial woes today, but even I am not that stupid to spend money on something just to use it the same way I used what I replaced it with.

Nothing funnier than someone wanting to be cool by getting the latest gadgets and then not know how to use them properly.

My wife has Bluetooth, but I passed on it.  When she calls me, it is always hard to hear her as it sounds like she is in a wind tunnel.

When we lived in Germany up until a few months ago, we had to buy a landline phone that was compatible with the different European phone jacks there. I was glad to see that the only telephone we had to choose from came with a hands-free function. Well, it turned out that the "hands-free function" was nothing more than a speakerphone in the handset that you had to carry around with you anyway.

No belt clip, no wire, no earpiece. The only good it did me was when my ear got sore I could hold the phone in front of my face instead.

Yeah, technology is a joke sometimes. The joke's on the consumer.

Hehe, so true. I'm a gadget freak, no denying. I love new toys. But I alwasy make sure I know how to use them before or when I buy them. Most people here in Puerto Rico that I know who have PC's don't even know what they have. Beyong email (which they still find hard to do), calculator and searching the internet (which they still have a lot of learning to do), they can barely play music or movie on one without wondering why it's not working or sounding right. they make me feel like I'm Bill Gates when it comes to PC knowledge next to them.

So sad.
