I was issued a new phone a work. I hate it. It has more useless crap than you can imagine. All the useless crap makes it all that much harder to maneuver through the menus just to see who called and to do other basic phone related things. I have to carry a 60 page owners manual in the cars glove box just in case I forget how to do something. It has a camera which I never need. It has a multicolor screen which is useful for what? It has text messaging which is worthless to me. It even has eight games built into it. It also makes all sorts of unnecessary noises when I do different things. I'm sure it has an attachment for an electric toothbrush somewhere.

Speaking of other unnecessary technology...how about those Borg like people who talk to themselves while wearing those blue flashing lights in their ears. It's bad enough seeing a blue flashing light in the rear view mirror. But is that really necessary? I always feel a little embarrassed for them when I see them in public. I am tempted to call one of them five of seven. I wonder if he would get it?
