We had the same discussion 20 years ago, when the first Sony Walkmen appeared. Nothing has changed.

Well you have some very strong points towards the misuse of music. And yes i do agree how some of us can be quite ignorant. While driving when we boost up our music to the max and while on the bus. Music does have the effect of making an individual isolated. But i don’t think that music stops you from thinking at all. Music is invented to manipulate someone with what they are intending to say. Music could be quite influencive and have all kind of effects on people.

Alright, let me break this down for you nice and easy…i do know that listenting to your iPods with the volume cranked up CAN hurt your hearing and can make some people seem ignorant, but please dont hate on the “iPod” generation because they listen to their iPods while in public…OMG are you serious that you’re offended by people listening to their iPods in public? I mean what would you rather them do, carry around miniature boom boxes and carry them up on their shoulders and walk around with the volume cranked up? And about your thing on people not thinking when listening to music…OMG are you serious? YOU THINK ALL THE TIME MAN. Every second of every day of every year you always think. I mean if you say that people who listen to iPods don’t think, then how do you think when you sing in church? When you pray? When you’re driving and on the road concentrating on whats ahead of you? The truth is that you ALWAYS ARE THINKING MAN. Oh, and by the way you do have some strong points, and I’m not totally trashing you, but LOOSEN UP…you sound like an 80 year old WWII veteran who always bitches at people…sheesh

I completely agree with you. I think it is rude to listen to your iPod when in public. We’ve already become such an isolated society, that to shut people out when you’re in public, only makes it more so.
I do own an iPod and I have noticed that I am getting sick of listening to music. Now, I have all my music with me. Instead of having a few CD’s in my car that I cycle through, I can now listen to any variety of music I desire.
