Ipods

Everywhere I go I see people walking around with ipod earphones in their ears. It seems like for some people they never come out like they are glued in there. I think it is crazy when I see kids at school walking around with them between classes. It doesn't even take that long to get from class to class, and they probably don't even get to listen to a full song. Plus we go to school to learn not to listen to music. So why have ipods become so popular in the school setting? One reason I believe that ipods are seen in high school is people don't like silence or to be alone. When you listen to music you have constant noise in your head, and when you walking down the hallway by yourself you don't feel as lonely. Also some kids don't want to talk to people so they put their earphones in and tune out the rest of the world. The number one reason though people listen to their ipods is to look cool. It has become such a popular trend, that when people listen to their ipods they think that they are so wonderful. I on the other hand think it is stupid. I have an ipod but you don't see me walking around the hall with it. There is no need. All they do is distract and create excuses for student to shut out the world, and all that is going on around them. I think ipods are a great invention, and I absolutely love mine. I just don't think they are appropriate for school.
