How To Trick Your Boss into Thinking that You're Working

Do you happen to work in an office, have access to a phone and want to use it for your own personal purposes? Well, up until now, you had to sneak, whisper (and even hide under the desk), but technology seems eager to give you a helping hand, with Babble.

Babble is a device that connects to the office phone and, when used, generates, through the phone, an average pitched sound, obtained by decomposing the user's voice. Practically, the people sharing the same office space don't notice any changes in the intensity of the noise, and, in the same time, the voice of the person talking on the phone is covered by this background noise, although the person from the other end has no problem hearing it.

The device is not only very useful, but also very easy to be concealed, having relatively small dimensions. Moreover, it is compatible with most models of office phones, and can be powered from any outlet.

Quite obviously, the manufacturers claim that this device has the role of assuring the confidentiality of the calls, but also of making phone calls without disturbing the other people around you, but the truth is a little different, since it's quite clear that many employees will use Babble for the completely wrong purposes.
