Article Response: Society Is Dead, We Have Retreated into the iWorld

The article Society Is Dead, We Have Retreated Into the iWorld by Andrew Sullivan talks about our society and how it is becoming dead. We are being taken over by the one and only iPod. It says that we people are now in our own world missing out on what the world and nature has to offer. This article was very interesting and put much into perspective for me. It is true how shone the world out, and we all are in our own little close-minded worlds. "Each was in his or her own musical world, walking to their soundtrack, stars in their own music vide, almost oblivious to the world around them."I found this quote very interesting, mainly because it is the bare truth! As I walk to class everyday to I see about 95% of people with their iPods tucked in their ears and that includes myself. I have seen people almost get ran over because they could not hear the sound of the approaching bike behind them. I also loved the ending sentence of the article, "Try it. There's a world out there. And it has a soundtrack all its own." I think that this quote summed up the whole article and was a great ending sentence, and is something that we should try doing more often. The two questions I would like to ask the author is, does he listen to his iPod less often now? and have you undated to the latest iPod out today do you feel like this is going to be a much worst problem in the future?
