Am I the only one who thinks this:
« on: February 19, 2007, 08:33:35 PM » |

Whenever I'm talking to someone wearing one of these:  I expect them to say, at some point: 'I am Locutus of Borg. Prepare to be assimilated. Resistance is futile' ? |

I doubt you are the only one who thinks this, but most probably still live in mom's basement and have a job at Game Stop.

Two things:
1. If I was talking to her I wouldn't be looking at that thing in her ear.
2. I would probably let her assimilate me.

I just roll my eyes whenever I see someone wearing one of those. Just what I'd want, a phone attached to my head.  |

When I'm talking to someone wearing one of those I'm usually expecting to be asked if I want "fries with that?"  |

if you've ever tried calling your utility/phone co/cable co/attorney/bank/whatever other service provider that is now allowed to treat customers like total dogshiiite since about 1995/1996 or so you've been dreaming of having one of these.... or else you're a masochist. yeh, i'd like to hold the phone to my head for the 60 minutes of hold time (after holding it ... pulling it down to hit menu choice 4, picking it up, pulling it down to hit menu 7, etc. |

I have one too. It's healthier and your ear doesn't boil. And my hair hides it, so people think I'm a lunatic that talks to herself. Awesome.

People have thought that about aske for a very long time. It seems there's no monopoly on crazy in your household. |

I don't get how it picks up your voice when the device is so far from your mouth. And if it's super sensitive, why doesn't it pick up tons of background noise?

Because the people using them are always talking so loud. |

I think more along the lines of how much Star Trek has influenced our technology today, like this:  Injections without needles. Transmitters look like todays cel phones. I saw an episode where they had a huge flat screen TV. Floppy disk looking thingamajigs. |
