Cellphone Beanbag Chair
Continuing on with cool products, we turn our attention to Think Geek today. We’re going to look (rather quickly) at the Bean Bag Chair … which is not for you (the human) but for your cell phone.
Really, I’m a bit at a loss for words. It may not be the most worthless product, but at $10 + shipping it’s going to have a pretty low worth to cost ratio.
Maybe it would be useful if you had a really small dog?
Actually I can see that it would be an exceedingly handy piece. By its very nature, it’s infinitely adjustable for angle and location, so if you want your phone to sit on a desk while you do something — handsfree perhaps — you can set it so the screen is exactly pointed to your eyes, and it’s easy to change that slightly as you move. So, viewing photos or other content, while speaking on the phone, while doing something else on your other computer — all of this is no problem to the technological generation, thanks to a piece of furniture which comes from the previous generation.
Or is it more the previous generation being tickled by the fact that something they invented is still relevant?
Another benefit I realised just after I posted that reply was that if you place your phone on the bean-bag chair, it will be very well shielded from unwanted extraneous noises from your desk environment as you converse on it. For example, key-thumping from your desktop computer, or rumbles from the processor fan, etc, will not be transmitted into the conversation.
