Bluetootheses: You're Doing It Wrong!

Bluetooth technology is great!

Did you know that you can make your computer Bluetooth enabled so that pictures and videos on your cellular telephone can be transferred with ease?

Did you also know that you can connect your computer to your phone via Bluetooth and access internet on your computer through the phone or that you can pipe music from your phone to your car sterio?

Did you also know that wearing a Bluetooth headset makes you look like a prick who is either

a) pompous
b) arrogant
c) merely trying to look cool
OR
d) all of the above?

It was bad enough when the wired headset first gained popularity. While shopping for a new suit in the mall or getting tires replaced, you were accosted by people seemingly having schizophrenic conversations with themselves, only to discover you missed the litte dangling wire and they were talking on their phone.

Now, the same problems still apply but you have folks walking around with a g-d headset on at all times. I can understand the ease of not having to strain your muscles and hold the phone up to your head when you are driving, changing a diaper, or playing video games and some people may use their phones enough to warrant having one permanently implanted into their inner ear canal (how would you charge that?).

But if you are just walking around looking like you have a growth on your ear and not even using it, you need to rethink things. At least the Jason Bourne wired headset wasn't as tacky looking.
