Isolation by Ipod
Daryl is very wise to point out that the iPod iSolates. Ever since I've gotten my iPod, I have ceased calling friends up for a quick catch-up while waiting or commuting. Neither do I really care when I have to wander the streets downtown alone or run some errands on my own. I am happy in my own music - in my own world constructed by my iPod.
No doubt, such a social concern was probably raised when the walkman first hit the market. But, imagine - a world of 2000(and possibly more) songs, boredom doesn't come that easily and isolation takes a longer time to run out.
So, yes, I'm very happily insulated by my music of late. But not so isolated that I can't meet up with mr wannabe-toff for catchup and Pimm's. Now, did I get those terms right? :)
