cell phones

Ah, technology. What’s new today will most likely be old by tonight, which is why it’s so fun to look back at "must have" goodies that we felt compelled to buy to keep up with the times.

Generally, we let our cellphone go to voicemail when we're busy. Not so French daredevil Trancede Melet, who actually took a call while walking a 20 meter gap suspended 1,000 feet in the air. At least he wasn't texting. That would've been crazy dangerous.

Well, you've heard of surrendering your guns at the door of the saloon or surrendering items before boarding a plane, but what about handing over your phone to the Maitre-d before being seated? Well, it is actually happening and not quite in the way you might think...

Grrrrrrr!  I see this enough so I felt obligated to post about it.  Have you seen these turkeys?  You're at a ballgame, you have great seats somewhere in the vicinity of behind home plate, otherwise how would your mug show up on camera during every at-bat?

It wasn’t so long ago that all you could do on a cell phone is make or receive calls. Now these amazing mini-computers will tell you where you are, where you need to go, and provide you a movie to watch while you get there. Spouses, on the other hand, more or less have the same abilities as they’ve always had.

We’ve all been warned about the dangers of using our cell phones while driving. But did you know phone usage when you’re simply walking can make you accident-prone, too?
