I have seen the great modern phenomenon of people walking around with earpieces in their ears constantly. Either from their Ipods (or some other clone) or bluetooth or some other "plugged in" source. People walking around their place of work, or just out and about.
I have no freaking idea how these people aren't victims of some crime or just plain run over by a bus more often. Have we become so addicted to our "Noise" that we need to be constantly plugged in. The side effect is being completely tuned out to the world around you. You may not hear the bus that just smashed you like a fly or your friend calling out to you.
We are a very distracted people these days. Peace and quiet is a beautiful thing and paying attention to the world can be even better.....especially when that 12 ton vehicle is comming!?
