Hand-Phone Concept Makes You Look Like a Jackass

Upon first glance, the new wearable cell phone concept from designer Massimo Marrazzo, pictured above, is a bit unnerving. The image of the woman doing the hand-phone move evokes painful memories of the last person we ever saw do that.
We never called them.
This concept consists of a central processor, worn on the back of the hand, and wires that extend from that processor to the tip of the thumb and pinky for optimum hand-phoning ability. Interesting, yes, but does anyone even want to hand-phone? That is the real question. Our best guess is no.
If this concept ever went into production, technophiles might be interested in owning one just for the looks they would surely receive. The problem is, most people wouldn't be staring out of envy. They would be seeing some poor schmuck mouthing "call me" and making that silly hand-phone gesture across a crowded room. [Source: Textually.org]

Regarding your article today on myths about cell phones debunked (very good by the way)....... I'd like to add my own personal opinion about #1.. I'm pretty sure that the reason the airlines don't want you to use your own (and much cheaper) cell phone while in the plane, is because they'd rather you use THEIRS......... much more expensive and a charge on your credit card. They're in the business for every dime they can squeeze out of you......... it's the bus or the train for me.
