A lot of people used to carry pens on their shirts. Many still do. Now using bluetooth earpieces is commonplace. I am sure people will get used to using very tiny gadgets on their clothing or ears if they assist them in meaningful ways.
- planetguy 14y agoA lot of people used to carry pens on their shirts Isn't "pens in the front pocket" a defining characteristic of a 1950s-era nerd? Now using bluetooth earpieces is commonplace Sure, among two classes of people: travelling salesmen and complete toolbags. I am sure people will get used to using very tiny gadgets on their clothing or ears if they assist them in meaningful ways. Oh sure, I'm just arguing that it'll never be cool.

- majormajor 14y agoIf it works well enough, of course it will be cool. Once everyone has one to get shit done with, "cool" will be one of the biggest differentiators to determine which one to get. If it doesn't work well enough, then it will be the new Newton—and even then, here we are 20 years later, and tablets are cool.
- r0s 14y agoI really don't see as much earpiece fashion anymore. To me it always screamed "extra device" which is the opposite of luxury or convenience. Or maybe I'm just blind to a common trend now.
