While working the other day I noticed my boss answering his cell phone. It rang, he pulled it from it’s holster, looked at the caller ID and answered the call. This would seem to be the normal process of answering a call. Then I was a little puzzled as to why he always looks at the caller ID. The reason for questioning looking at the caller ID before answering the call is that my boss has the personality that can NOT let the phone go unanswered. With that in mind, why take the time and effort to move the phone into a position to read the caller ID if no matter what it says, you’re are going to answer the call?
So I figured this must be a case of a product that one day was almost useless, and the next day a product you’ve come to expect or couldn’t imagine going with out.
What little things do you interface with regularly that you couldn’t live with out, but at heart are really totally unnecessary?
