Comments on a post by The Native Tourist
Having recently re-read Fahrenheit 451, this caught my attention.
"Levy considers the possibility—raised by several cultural commentators, including Andrew Sullivan—that the iPod is isolating us from one another. Sidewalks and subway cars that were once filled with lively noise are not populated by hordes of silent people with white earbuds in their ears whose inability to hear their surroundings seems to be accompanied by a glazing-over of their eyes as well."
Jeff-That caught my eye as well. As if we need more to keep ourselves isolated from each other.
Of course, the book and the review seem to be overall very positive toward the little item...
My favorite iPod moment was when it suddenly occurred to me to wonder what would happen if they unplugged their brain from its battery....
sounds bi-polar or something...
