I just read an article on MSNBC.com entitled "Gadgets that make you look like a jerk." Being a person whose friends are into the newest innovative gizmos, my curiosity was piqued.
The Crackberry, er, I mean Blackberry was the first mentioned. The phone is pretty cool, however, I think its reputation is attributed to the obnoxious users that are attached to them. My 7-year old nephew told my mom that he wants a Blackberry for Christmas. Perplexed as to why a child of his age would want such a grown-up toy, my mom asked her grandson for a reason. His answer: a kid in his class has a Blackberry. I feel a sense of responsibility to stop douchebaggery in the 2nd grade. Therefore, I will proceed to tell my nephew that his classmate is a jerk and that he should expect to receive Guitar Hero 2 for Christmas. Another gadget that I agree with on this list is the Bluetooth. I remember a guy wearing his at our annual holiday party, and I was distracted by the blue blinking light. I also recall thinking that the Bluetooth isn't exactly the right accessory for party attire. Mind you, the Bluetooth is perfect in the car or in the office, but it's not necessary anywhere else. One of my gal pals went on a date with a handsome man who had so much potential, until he showed up at dinner with a Bluetooth on his ear and didn't think for a second that he should take it off. To this day, she still ignores periodic phone calls from him...knowing that he's likely using the Bluetooth to make the call.
