Conspiracy theories have also arisen. One of the most widespread conspiracy theories is that the government will secretly protect a few thousand people in order to preserve the future of humanity. According to this conspiracy theory, the list of people to be protected and kept alive includes governmental and corporate leaders, people who can breed healthy offspring, and computer scientists who will be able to maintain and grow the technology that we already rely on.

I realized it would be silly to take any kind of stance either for or against portable digital music players, so I decided to try to understand my own resistance to getting one. Now that we have the iPhone, I'm more likely to get the gadget, but I think I would mostly use the player for audiobooks when I'm walking, cuz walking and thinking are good combos for me. As for music, I still find most music too engrossing for complex sensorial tasks like... walking on a sidewalk, or withdrawing into myself in a crowded subway ;) Thanks William, actually it was a difficult post to write!

I like to have all my music with me, but it is true that i listen to certain song repeatedly and other a lot less. I just take that as i'm getting too familiar with my music, and i should be sampling more i guess hehe. lol i liked your post, very rationalised, but i still like my mp3 player and use it on a daily basis as a flash drive with all my uni work.
