Headphones are one of my pet peeves. You see all kinds of people in public, athletes on TV and others that are totally missing out on life because they are blocking our their surrounding. You would think an athlete getting ready to play in a big game would like to experience all the pomp surrounding the event and not block it out. That's how memories are made.
The ten examples really make you stop and think. I'm also fascinated by similar impacts with architectural trends in housing, especially in just the past 50 or so years. Several items from your list made me think of a book I recently added to my to-read list: The Outsourced Self by Arlie Russell Hochschild. This week's post might move that book up the list. Thanks for sharing each week!
