Look at this, the simplicity of it makes it all so smart dun u think? Why do u need all the mumbo-jumbo technology of blue-tooth hands-free headsets when u can have a piece of elastic at a hundreds of a fraction of the cost... Yes it;s meant to be a stoopid product to have a laugh at.I am sure u think it will look awfully stoopid to be seen wearing one of those attaching your phones to your head. But think, when the first few blue-tooth hands-free headsets came out, i am sure many of u will think it;s stoopid to be seen wearing something like that, walking around and looking like u are talking to yourselves.. But nowadays, it;s so common to see ppl doin that, and many ppl are numbed by how common they are that they no longer find it stoopid. So i guess, in life, u are always deemed stoopid when doin somehting different from the masses until it is commonly accepted.

I can remember very distinctively that one of our lecturers laughed at the idea of hands-free devices for handphones. He mentioned that it is ridiculous that somebody would wear a device like that. He reasoned that the user would look 'mentally disturbed' because when users speak into these devices (if small and not obvious) it would seem like talking to himself.
That was slightly over 10 years ago..... I would like to think that our cohort was very creative/ imaginative even as students then, the world (even our lecturers) might not be ready for such ideas.
