technology

I certainly am late getting back to this. Now I am supposed to talk about something tech related that happened this week or that I am interested in. I was reading the business page in the newspaper about how Ipods and Iphones have rejuvenated the Apple industry. Notice I capitalized the letter A and called it its own industry. Everywhere I look people have these things stuck in their ears, listening to music-even while they are conducting their personal lives. So my question is, are these people shutting the world out by doing this? Are they so bored with their world that music must cover it? Or fnd it so unbearable that they shut out the sound the world makes as it lives? Posting this thing. I have run out of time.
