The "ear-bud" trend is truly distressing. On college campuses, especially, you have people moving around in large groups, but none are interacting. They're all wearing ear-buds and are completely invested in their internal existence, even though the "real world" is going on right in front of them. It has such a bizarre sci-fi vibe to it, I have to say. And that's not to mention the hearing loss. Jeese!
