PS: I take offence to the notion that if a young person is listening to their iPod they must be pumping Lady Gaga. Some of us have taste.

I think the problem is, if everyone gets into that habit, eventually nobody will have any real spontaneous social skills. People will develop some sort of form of iPod autism where everyone is immersed in their own little worlds. We are already seeing how technology is making people more anti social with the phone cam voyeur effect. a lot of people now are more interested in producing the best new youtube or liveleak video than they are in actually helping.
