    Seeing a person at a coffee shop typing with his fingers on a table and moving his invisible mouse would be…interesting.

    I can see value on a plane. But I’d rather use my MacBook then look like a crazy person pretending to work.

      That's what people used to say about Bluetooth headsets

        It's still creepy and weird to have a full conversation on a bluetooth headset in a public place where everyone can overhear your side of it.

          Isn’t that the same without a headset?

            No, talking into a phone feels more natural than talking to nothing in particular

              Plus when you talk into a phone, your voice bouncing off the glass causes natural tendency to control vocal volume.

              With buds, people just shout into the void... Or the bus...
