The preeminence of cell phone, earphones and earbuds I believe is creating an epidemic of Schizophrenia in our country. We become so used to hearing voices constantly without actual people around us that when such devices are withdrawn a phantom voice can easily come into the picture. Our minds are much more open to here these voices and our immune society is also weakened to fight back. We also are become more isolated from “the real world” as we stay tuned into those things literally we’re connected to instead. To help prevent this theory from become a prevalent philosophy maybe it’s time to tune out and tune into the sounds that come from loved ones and the real world around us instead.
