Download the thesis and flip through to check it out.

Also, Bill, re your comment "we just all need to adjust to the fact that so many people have [mobile phones]," well, then, people with mobile phones will all just need to adjust to fact that so many people will have jammers. To ask one to simply "adjust" to what is, essentially, a consciously-propagated plague of noise and invasion of personal (sound)space, indicates that you don't think it's a problem. Fine. Feel free to get used to it. The rest of us who DO think it's a problem will continue the struggle. (My favorite contribution to the struggle is the act of transcribing a stranger's mobile conversation and offering to sell it back to them for $5.)

And don't give me crap about "but what about the people who talk so loud on their telephone?" That's another issue, just like if two people nearby were talking too loudly. Then, just like the two people talking, you either suck it up or say something. Most people seem to me to talk at conversational volume on their cellphones.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/13/the-wave-bubble-defends-you-from-squawking-cellphoners/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/13/the-wave-bubble-defends-you-from-squawking-cellphoners/Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/13/the-wave-bubble-defends-you-from-squawking-cellphoners/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/13/the-wave-bubble-defends-you-from-squawking-cellphoners/

I agree about drivers and cellphones. It seems that holding the phone to your ear severely hampers the range of motion in one's neck, so the driver can't look in the mirrors or out of their side window anymore.

But what bothers me the most about cellphones is those AM-radio-quality ringtones, and how some people actually let their phone ring for a minute so we can all not appreciate their taste.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/13/the-wave-bubble-defends-you-from-squawking-cellphoners/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/13/the-wave-bubble-defends-you-from-squawking-cellphoners/
An ironic statement if ever I heard one. I plan to carry a cellphone blocker for precisely this same reason, of course. Can't tell you how many times I've heard the following: *BUZZ* "Hey, I can't talk right now -- I'm watching a movie. No, I'm *in* the theatre! Okay. Later." (These are the same people oblivious to my wicked death-glare, of course.)

Safety and well-being? Please. It's a convenience. Fascinating how quickly the (often annoying) comforts of technology become "necessities."]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/13/the-wave-bubble-defends-you-from-squawking-cellphoners/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/13/the-wave-bubble-defends-you-from-squawking-cellphoners/Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/13/the-wave-bubble-defends-you-from-squawking-cellphoners/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/13/the-wave-bubble-defends-you-from-squawking-cellphoners/Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/13/the-wave-bubble-defends-you-from-squawking-cellphoners/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/13/the-wave-bubble-defends-you-from-squawking-cellphoners/Dec 19th 2005 12:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/05/13/the-wave-bubble-defends-you-from-squawking-cellphoners/http://www.engadget.com/2005/05/13/the-wave-bubble-defends-you-from-squawking-cellphoners/Dec 19th 2005 12:53AM
