    What I find troubling when I observe today's youth is the majority are either talking on cell phones or have little white ear buds stuffed in their ears...Constant audio input. How does this affect introspective thought? Where is the quiet time for the brain, mind, soul? I can't have a constant audio feed like that, I'd go NUTS!

    so just beeping?? lol

    the bigger problem with the audio input is the noise induced hearing loss it can cause.

    Don't tell me you haven't got Marko's podcasts on repeat on you all the time. I thought everybody here did that...
