And I too am really surprised when people ask "why?" Is it not obvious?
No, actually, it isn't. Is it just because it's "cool" (like a piercing) or is it serving some practical purpose for you beyond that? Genuinely curious.
It augments your sense of touch. I suppose this isn't obvious (however it seems obvious to me that many people would want to augment their senses).
Does it serve a practical purpose for me? No, I have it because it's "cool" but not at all in the same way that piercings are "cool." It's cool because I can feel motors, power transformers, etc.
It's also very useful for picking up dropped paperclips.
