Handless Headsets and Free Ringtones

Handless Headsets for the Mobile Phone

There is nothing more odd than seeing someone walking down
the street having a full and complete conversation with
themselves.

At first glance they are seen as crazy or schizophrenic.
Upon closer examination we see they are just on their
mobile phone attached to a headset.

While the introduction of the headset to the mobile phone
user has made multi tasking even easier, you still cant
help but take a second look when you see someone in a fully
animated conversation with what appears to be themselves.
Arms flailing, voice raised and lost in their own world.

The one good thing that the introduction of the mobile
phone headset has accomplished is that drivers are slightly
less distracted when on their phones.

Of course, this is only slightly because a lot of the
distraction still comes from things like dialing the phone,
answering the phone, or even finding the phone when it is
ringing.

The new version of the mobile phone headset is wireless. It
attaches to your ear and makes it so you can answer your
phone with just a push of the button on the headset. Sounds
like something right out of a sci-fi movie.

But what next? Many people think the next trend in wireless
headsets will be to have a microchip implanted in your head
that acts as the headset.

This seems to be taking things a little too far. But just
how far will we go for science?

How will we be able to tell the people who need
professional psychiatric help from those who just spend all
their time on their implanted mobile phones?
