Bluetooth is some amazing technology. Everywhere I look I see people using it for their GoPro cameras and Beats Pills and Bose Soundlink speakers. Most everyone seems to be pretty comfortable with using bluetooth technology.
Except in the car.
From a cultural perspective, I am fascinated by the outright resistance by the general populace to using bluetooth technology in the car. Take a look on your drive to work tomorrow, and you’ll notice most people holding their phones up to their ears or worse yet, holding it out in front of their face (speaker mode).
A quick check of Amazon and I discovered that you can buy a bluetooth earpiece for as little as $15. If you’re willing to move up to the $25 range, there are scores of options. So what’s the rub? With the cost of phones and cell plans these days, cost cannot be a factor. WHY do people not use this amazing technology that makes talking on the cell phone in your car easy AND safer?
And even if you don't want to use bluetooth, why not use the earphones that they are wearing 11 hours a day anyway? Most of them have a microphone built in.
Is there an explanation other than just being too cool to put an earpiece in their ear?
