Default ipod before social skills/safety

Lately everywhere I go I seem to run into ipod situations....
-ipod dog walkers : almost ride (bike) right over them, as they walk with their heads down
-ipod drivers : not sure why with all the technology but they are out there...
-ipod shoppers : bumping around oblivious to the outside world
-ipod kid : "in the back seat" "with their arms folded tight" "Win Butler"
-ipod racer : why even show up to a public race? If you didn't are you sure anyone would miss you? Just go for a long run/bike on your own on an open stretch I am sure you will get the same effect. I have done a few tri's this year and it is great that they don't allow ipods...
-ipod dad/parent : On holidays and then recently at the Heritage Day/Princess Island event. Why be around your family with your ipod on? Time to tune in...guess the ipod kids need to learn somewhere....even this situation is beyond one ear bud in....any stats out there on ipod related deaths or injuries.....correlations between being plugged in and diminishing social skills?..any good books on this topic? Based on my experiences I am interested....Cool story bro I know....but you could always skip to the end or shuffle
