A Kbobam Conspiracy Theory!

[kbobam]

I've been getting a lot of web advertising lately for devices similar
to the one you can see in the link below.  You don't need to click
the link if you don't want to.  It's an antenna slash booster device
that supposedly improves cellular phone reception in your house.
It's also very expensive.

Tell me if you think I'm missing something, but here's what I think.
There's some reason I can't quite figure out why cell phones
don't have a simple little jack (hole) into which you have the option
of plugging in an external antenna.  You put a cheap little squiggle
antenna like the ones car phones used to use on the outside of your
house or apartment window.  Run a short wire from that to the inside.
Plug it into your phone and get reception (for you younger people,
this means 'mega-bars') that's ten times better than normal.  At
1/100 the price of the silly devices people are trying to sell me, and
without introducing all this extra radiation, if you will, where I live.

Going to shut up now.  Please feel free to let me know if you'd like
to hear me continue to go off endlessly about how silly most of our
modern wireless 'needs' are, and make analogies to the old 'Cold
War' situation where the Soviet Union had an incredible advantage
by not automatically embracing 'modern technology' in a stupid
automatic robot-like fashion.  And as long as I'm 'preaching', make
sure your kids learn 'real' history so they're not doomed to repeat it. 

Also have a great rest of the weekend!  ( :

Sunday!
The day when I 'cringe' a little and look to see
how embarrassed I need to be about the 'Saturday Night Rant'!
Not bad.  I feel okay about this one.  A little bit 'excited' as always,
but I still think the general 'gist' here is worthwhile.  ( :

LOL ... it was too technical to me. 

I still have a landline.

You know, maybe instead of bitching about the lack of antenna hole with my
'constantly driving into a tunnel' cell phone, I should have considered this.
I may have not seen the forest for the trees here!
