Finally, a ringtone for teens and dogs.

You get your just deserts. Invent a device and call it the “Mosquito Teen Repeller”, and teens will turn around and find a way to use it against you. In this case, they turned the high-pitched noise into an mp3 and set it as their ringtone, one that they can hear and most adults can’t. Build a wall to stop teens from doing something, they’ll build a ladder, a bridge, some dynamite, and then turn the wall into a skatepark. It’s too bad we aren’t better able to harness all of that inventive energy. Still, I don’t see it becoming too predominant, because if you CAN hear the ringtone, it’s a really annoying sound. (see if you can hear it)

At least I know I’m not old. Yet.
