AgenciesBundling devices has been the great project of the last quarter of a century. Phones that have address books, then cameras with photo albums, then the internet, then a tiny movie screen, reading devices... short of a meal and a bed, pretty much everything in one handheld object. The TV has followed suit. But for every successful bundle, there are those to stay unbundled because they make little sense in comfort or ease - like the spork, a spoon-cum-fork attached to the same handle.
Singaporean tech MNC Dyson, known best for its electric household appliances, has unveiled its plan to launch air-purifying headphones. Yes, like many high-end headphones, these will cancel out noise, but they will also apparently cancel out those nasty particulate matters while you're listening to, say, the Albert Hammond 1972 ballad, 'The Air That I Breathe' (bit.ly/37cUtCn), or the 1987 Hasan Jahangir hit, 'Hawa Hawa' (bit.ly/3u1kk9l). But would anyone like to have their mouth and nose (along with ears, of course) covered by a helmet-like device with an inbuilt air-filtration system. One would think having a separate air purifier at home and swearing a N95 outdoors would do the trick for those who want to listen to music and breathe. Now, if there a device awaiting bundling, it would be a BlackBerry with a shaver. Every businessman's dream.
