It appears everywhere I go individuals are more locked in their own world and I find out that I talking to myself. Whether I go to the gym and try to exchange pleasantries with my fellow neighbor, go home and try to talk with my children or even walk down the street the world appears to be deaf to what I’m saying.
Some of these earpieces are so small you can’t see them or hidden behind someone’s hair so my conversations with myself can sometimes be excused but other times it’s just I guess I’m living in the past. A time long ago when people actually exchanged pleasantries with each other when entering a building or even held a conversation or discussion during a long car ride. It was a time when you couldn’t just pick the song you want from any device and play it but actually put in something like a tape, CD, or even a record to actually hear your music. You could still zone people out but usually it was by slamming your bedroom door closed. Maybe I’m wrong but I believe that we in society today could use a few more minutes of listening to each other instead of a listening to a song by ourselves.
