WOW........i can actually survive a whole boring church service, an irritating lecture, oh and not forgetting ignoring the world around me.
Yep i hear all these things all the time. wow! even i feel like this sometimes. I think one of the best things that has ever happened to technology was the earpiece. be it the earpiece of you phone, ipod, pocket radio or CD walk man ( if there are still people who carry those), the earphones are radical
the deceit they have, not only that but they are very stylish to...., i know people who wear them without actually listening to anything
all in all the earphones allows you to escape to a whole new world. can be hypnotising though after a while.. I heard some one saying yesterday that this technology can effect your learning capabilities in a way that because you are constantly listening to music your brain starts to absorb some slang which then you use subconsciencly when you write you assignments. Not only assignments but important documents, now anyone doing their honours can tell you that the use of slang will definitely give your chances of passing a huge dent.

True indeed, but don't you also find it irritating when you talk to someone and their busy listening to music and when you say listen, patting them to attention ofcourse, they say I'm hearing you. I also understand that nothing comes with only positive change and it's awesome that one can fully enjoy their music without interruptions as long as it is in moderation.
I'm not sure I agree, earphones are probably one of the most offensive and damaging inventions in the situations you talk of. Firstly they are highly damaging to your ears. In Church and lecutures the idea, I suppose, is actually to be listening and learning. So while they have their place in society, earphones should not be used to simply escape. You can not always escape reality and people by simply plugging in!
earphones i fully agree are the best invention but like everything else they have an appropriate time and place.if they serve to free you from a boring sermon in that regard my solution is simply just dont go in that way you dont have to use these wonderful inventions you can simply go to your room close the door and kill yourself with ridiculous volumes of your favourite track, and then once you actually feel you want to attend that boring church sermon you can go and actually listen. and another plus in being reasonable about the time and place for earphones is that you dont have to spend the whole sermon trying to hide the earphones from dissaproving glances from your mother or any other dissaproving adult who sees no purpose for earphones.
