Those crazy Japs

[Munkey-]

Like some people diddn't look stupid enough apparently talking to themselves, the Japs have no invented this:

Appropiate BBC news link

Imagine yourself using a regular mobile phone in a crowded and noisy place, what do you do, you jam your other finger in your other ear and cup the phone mic close to your mouth.

Not much difference really.

Soon there will be subvocal mics so we won't have people shouting "I'm on the train", or in supermarkets saying to their other halves "What brand of peas do you want?"

instead we'll hae people goin "murble burble, nurble"

Isn't this one a bit dodgy what with all the concerns about radiation and cancer from mobiles still?

It's good /bad for you was the last concensus I believe.

It the same as the concerns that the internet is evil and turns us all into perverts.

One big probelm with a phone in the tooth. What happens when you get in a fight on Friday night and it gets knocked out. I can't imagine it's a cheap piece of kit.

In fact, maybe it could be used as a deterant against drunken violence.

"You want some mofo!!"
"Yeah, come on th ...... Oh wait. NO, I may damage by extremley expensive tooth phone"
"Tooth Phone? Where di you get that, I've been after a new model for ages."

Love and happiness prevails.

Oh, and why can't we just wait for evolution to give us telepathy?

Or the guy just hits you anyways and steals the tooth phone

What about the fact that noone would know who you are talking to?

Me: "Hello"
Random Person: "EEhhh, Hi?"
*Random conversation*
Me: "Yeah cya later, love you etc etc"
Random Person: "You bloody pervert!!"

<Insert violence here>

Well it's quite simple really. All you have to do is invent a kind of headset with bleeping lights on it. When they flash green, people will know you're on the phone. When they flash red, people will know you aren't.

Actually, perhaps a sign on your forehead with a scrolling marquee that says "DON'T WORRY, I'M ON THE PHONE" would be better. Depends on your taste I suppose.

To avoid this manufacturers will supply a plastic replica of a mobile phone that you hold to your head whilst talking.
