T<\/span>echnology is fun. Today, it seems everyone enjoys making and taking phone calls in their cars and really, why wouldn’t they? Either you have cars equipped with Bluetooth connectivity or you’ve linked it to your stereo yourself. It’s very convenient and so LUXURIOUS.

Subsequently, your luxurious high-toned conversation with your phone buddy is being heard by everyone in the cars next to you and whomever may be walking or standing near you. It’s NOT sound proof, NOT. EVEN. CLOSE.<\/p>\n
