iPod Invasion

This wire service article -- subtitled "High-tech addiction quickly turning into social annoyance" -- claims that the iPod is turning people into audio addicts, incapable of doing anything without their earbuds in. And, of course, these technological addictions inevitably lead to destruction and death as oblivious users walk in front of buses.

If only there were some sort of more primative, widely used portable musical device that could have prepared us for this assault of too-cool gadgetry. Think of all the lives, loves and careers that could have been saved if we'd only known the horror that would be wrought by freeing music from its phonograph!.
