Addicted to public conversations, and Bluetooth earsets

It’s not just like the previous trend, when wearing a cellphone on a necklace tiptops Beckham’s and Madonna’s coolnesses simultaneously. It’s not just like that because it’s addictive. According to the Washington Post, people who rely on Bluetooth earsets for a hand-free conversation just can’t get enough wearing their accessory.

Of course, in the same time, those who don’t have one harden their opinion. Here’s a snapshot: “You see people arguing, and it looks like he’s schizophrenic!” “I equate it with being homeless.” “I’ve had several girlfriends tell me they don’t like it.” “Like you’re a robot.” “It just looks like they’re trying to be important.”

But we guess that will evolve very quickly. 33 million units sold last year, more than 55 million Bluetooth earsets in 2006. And have you noticed that now, earsets manufacturers tend to blend them more and more as casual accessories?
