Technology creates convenience for us, but also backfires and forms bad habits. I came across a classic example this morning while standing on line at a bank. The teller called for the next person. A woman wearing headphones took a few steps toward the teller and started fiddling with her iPod for the longest time. The teller was waiting as were about five other people on line. After she was done, she handed the teller a stack of $1 bills at least six inches thick! That cracked me up!
Regarding iPods in public: First of all, the white earbuds scream, "I have an iPod. Rob me!" And second, since you're already advertising for people to rob you, you're making it twice as easy by blasting away and cutting yourself off from surrounding sounds.
Regarding cellphone 100% uptime: Don't use your phone will driving. It's against the law. Don't use your cellphone while walking. You're slowing down, but just don't realize it. And no... you can't multitask efficiently, human. Did we forget how we lived without these things. It's not the end of the world if you miss a call!
