I Choose my iPod

There's a story on NPR right now about whether the "art of conversation" is dead and the tagline is: Contemporary Conversation or Your iPod? What do you choose? Well, I choose my iPod. Yes, conversation is dead. But that's OK with me. I can't think of anything more excruciating than the idea of trying to have some deep conversation about "interesting things" with people. I mean of course I talk to my friends, my family, my boyfriend, about things both interesting and not. However, I am inundated with information all day long - TV, radio, crowds in the city. I have no desire to have meaningful conversations with random passers-by or acquaintances. Yes, I would absolutely rather turn up my iPod than listen to the people around me have inane conversations about how the Red Sox players are overpaid, what's the best bar to go to, their fun night of stupid drunkenness, or, even better, listen to the crazy religious humming/chanting guy doing his crazy religious hum/chant on the bus, staring people down daring them to tell him to shut up.
