Useless junk, why???

One thing that annoys me about the modern world is the amount of junk there is out there! Most people call them gadgets but really they are objects that people think they want but, more importantly, don't actually need! One example of this is the new Nokia phone which is in production stages at the moment. This phone can also be a bracelet. I mean why do we need a phone that is also a bracelet?

A mobile is used to phone people and now you want it as a piece of jewellery as well? Why?

Other things which I find are pointless are things like the usb gadgets. You can buy a usb missile launcher for those who want to annoy people with silly rubber arrows. You can even get a usb Doctor Who Tardis, which is a multi usb port hub and when you plug in the usb leads the Tardis flashes and...wait for it...it even has the original Tardis sounds...I mean how sad can people be? Why do you need a flashing Tardis on your desk? The worst thing is that the organisers of this site decided that the usb gadgets needed to be put on the essential gadget page...what is an essential gadget? Is there such thing as an ESSENTIAL gadget? Maybe things like swiss army knives, but since when did the public need things such as usb devices to clutter our desks and annoy workmates or whoever walks past your computer!

But, if you think the usb devices are bad enough, look at this. It is a remote control which you use to control your man. So, does it have some sort of mind control device? No. Maybe it uses some sort of radio waves? Nope. Or maybe you have to place something on the guy and when you press the remote it sends a little shock through him? (I was really hoping this one would be true but as always) no. So what does it do? Well, according to the site it "offers the complete set of behaviour-altering tools, enabling the female user to dictate the topic of conversation, suspend slob-like behaviour, turn the male ego off, request flowers and so on." But how? It looks to me as if it is just a load of rubbish! But, unfortunately there are many people out there who fell for this gadget, as to my horror, it is SOLD OUT! I mean how? Why?

There are just some things that cannot be explained and people buying gadgets that they neither need nor particularly want that much cannot be explained! Except for this...people can be very gullible!
