I rember my shock a few years ago when people started wearing little phones on their ears. I remember I saw this tall, big, bald (but 30-something) guy walking around and talking loudly into his ear phone. This phone gave off a blueish glow. I swear he looked like some science fiction android character. Who is so important that he has to have a phone practically implanted in his head? And why do people shout into their phones? Are they shouting to call attention to themselves? — “Hey, look at me, I am so important that I have to carry a phone with me!”

I keep seeing that half-android guy who was Lando Calrissian’s major domo in those bluetooth wearers.

I still think there’s a mad scientist in a secret control room somewhere about to throw a switch and turn all phone wearers into mindless zombies...

The shouting is something that the person doesn't realize he or she is doing. It's like those who are using a radio with earphones and talk loud enough to hear themselves without realizing they are shouting.

That being said, it amazes me how concerned people seem to be about other people's phone habits.

Yes, that’s what I used to think. Or that they must be in the medical profession, carrying on conversations of an emergency nature. But I guess we know better these days.
