I've lost touch with today's trends. Not that I really tried at any time in my life, but recently (meaning the last two years) I've been totally out of the loop. When I worked as a nurse, I read People magazine on the night shift and that allowed me the insight to know what my two teenage children were talking about at least 50% of the time. Now, working from home, and being on a stricter budget, I seem to have become ignorant of anything that doesn't appear in the few art related magazines I still get. Sadly People isn't one of them.
So when I took Camille shopping with her Christmas money, the store had a huge sign that read, "We have POP Phones!" And here I was, the quintessential out-of-touch mother who had to ask the salesperson, "OK, what is a POP phone?" Boy am I glad I asked. It's a handset. A real handset that plugs into your cell phone and allows you the long forgotten comfort that only the weight and curve of a real handset can bring. Try it and believe me, it brings back memories like the smell of cookies baking in the oven. I'm in my 40's, so if your much younger than me the effect may be lessened. But if you are over 39, run, don't stop, and get yourself a POP phone. You won't regret it.
Over the past years I've become to disdain talking on the phone, and with the purchase of my very own purple POP phone, I think I may have found at least part of the reason why. It's just not comfortable to hold a small and very hot box up to my ear, constantly trying to adjust it so I can hear the other party while trying desperately NOT to push any buttons that would put my conversation on hold or even end it. The POP headset solves all that, in addition to lessening the amount of radiation you receive from cell phone usage, again not something I was searching for, but a bonus.
Here's a couple of pics I saw while surfing.
And one more.
So tell me, did you know what a POP phone was? Do you have one? Do you love it or hate it? Leave some comment love on this one. I know you have something to say.
