I’ll be the first to say that the moment I leave a class, ear buds are in and the iPod is turned up to a pretty loud volume. I fully realize that this form of “artistry,” as I’d like to call it, makes me completely inaccessible and hard to approach.
When I’m not fiddling around with my iPod, I’m on the phone or reading a book. (Yes, I read when I walk to class. I don’t bump into things...usually.) I can’t walk down the street without seeing 90 percent of other students with an iPod or cell phone attached to their ear(s). Regardless of my involvement in the problem, it almost disgusts me that our society has become this technologically dependent.
I wouldn’t say I’m a follower by any means. I was the very last in my circle of friends to own an iPod, after all, and I had my reasons for finally buckling down, spending the exorbitant amount of money and buying the little green iPod that now barely holds any of my music.
In addition, I love my little flip phone and use it constantly. It’s another device which I paid an exorbitant amount of money for. But it only adds to the inaccessibility that, not only me, but everyone feels all over campus.
