Tangled up in Bluetooth
Last week we discussed the possibility of a Bluetooth pencil to put behind your ear. That is so you do not look like an idiot while shouting into your mobile phone and instead look like a useful member of society, albeit one who walks around talking to themselves with a pencil behind their ear.
Stephen Williams at Alizian thinks that we are missing a trick when it comes to Bluetooth disguises.
‘How about manufacturers designing something that can be built into spectacle frames?’ he asks, though he does accept that they would have to be a heavily masculine variety of the sort popularised by Brains from Thunderbirds.
If you are looking for something a little more feminine, he also suggests Bluetooth earrings. Surely he is not the first person to have this idea?
Whilst reading your article “Tangled up in Bluetooth” I remembered this article in the register …. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/10/28/bluetooth_device/ What more could a girl need ?

I think Steven has got it completely wrong. I don't think we should be disguising the use of Bluetooth phones but advertising the fact that we are not talking to ourselves. I feel that the manufacturers of such new technologies should be providing us with flashing neon signs saying "I'm not crazy, I'm on the phone" so that when we are wondering down the road having a rant at the latest supplier to let us down we are not given a wide berth nor carted off by the police!
