Observation #4

Music has always been a big part of my life. I am a very sentimental person when it comes to music. I don’t have an iPod, but if I did I know I would have it in my ear everywhere I went. Even though I love music I think that iPods have made things so mobile and personal that self-centeredness is a common occurrence in today’s society. When students on campus are “plugged-in” they are, for the most part, unaware of the people around them. As long as the purpose of the iPod isn’t pushed to an obsession I think they are okay, because then at least there is a limit. The iPod has redefined the way we buy and listen to music, but should it define who we are and how we are perceived?
