Want To Talk Freely? Blue tooth!

Hey what's good?
Nothing man you?
Oh ... I'm on my blue tooth sorry.

Ever have one of those conversations?  I certainly have.  Now with many states requiring that you cannot talk on the phone and drive people are turning to blue tooth to carry on all their important telephone conversations while driving down the highway at 90 odd miles an hour.  It is all well and good when a person is using their bluetooth in the car by themselves - I commend them for having both hands on the speeding hunk of metal we call a car, however, when you are walking around in public or standing near me please for the love of all things I actually like use your phone not your blue tooth.  Almost everyone has experienced almost talking or attempting to engage a blue toother in a conversation.   There is an upside to blue tooth - it allows a person to use both hands, it can sync to many difference technology devices, and doesn't require a ton of cables to tie you down to a desk.  Despite all the good there is the bad - people talking on the phone are still distracted from what they are doing, while they may have both hands on the wheel they are still not entirely focused on what they are doing and this situation can easily result in a terrible car accident.  All in all blue tooth is still a distraction and an enabler to awkward social situations, so please if you need to talk to someone on the phone that badly do it on your own time not in public.
