The iPod Generation
Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what’s happening around them. _16 Outside life is shut out. So are you one of them?
For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. _17 What’s even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says: “I’m not available for chatting at the moment”.
Suppose, you’re at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough. But a colleague suddenly turns up. At this precise moment, the slightest disturbance would break your concentration. _18 Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away!” signal.
_19 It’s probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family while their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their “Yes, Mum.” Problem solved.
Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instruments. We’ll be in a virtual world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like. In this world, we will all be permanently plugged in. __20 And they are changing our social habits along the way.
In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It’s so strange. Suddenly, I don’t feel like wearing my earphones anymore.
A. Our instruments are changing quickly.
B. I also have wires hanging from my ears.
C. In the home situation, teenagers love these wires.
D. I don’t have to deal with the noise from the environment.
E. After all, I am listening to my favourite music and would rather not be disturbed.
F. Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions.
G. They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal digital noise reduction systems.
