- once you plug in these devices, you instantly isolate yourself from the rest of the world
- At least from my experience, I instantly feel a mindset shift as soon as I plug them in, Even when they’re not playing anything.
- similar reason to I don’t like skateboarding to class
- Am I the only one who feels that? Maybe people in general already do not feel connected even without earphones on. So having it or not does not affect their mindset?? And their issue is deeper than just having the earphones on
- almost all people I see with earphones have some sort of lifeless look on their face, as if they got consumed
- as much as I love The benefits it offers us like being able to focus in a noisy room, it’s a perfect example of how Technology is isolating us
• The moment you plug in those little devices, you instantly cut yourself off from the rest of the world. It’s like flipping a switch—from present and aware to distant and detached.
• At least for me, I feel a mindset shift instantly—even when they’re not playing anything. It’s like they create an invisible bubble around me, separating me from everything outside my head.
• This is exactly why I hate skateboarding to class—it puts me in the same kind of mental tunnel where I feel like I’m navigating through people instead of being among them.
• Am I the only one who feels this? Or are people already so disconnected that whether they have earphones in or not doesn’t even matter anymore? Maybe earphones aren’t the cause, just another symptom of how isolated we already are.
• I swear, almost every person I see with earphones in has this lifeless look—like they’ve been consumed by whatever’s playing, or maybe just consumed by the habit itself.
• Don’t get me wrong, earphones are insanely useful. Blocking out noise, focusing in a chaotic room, or avoiding an awkward encounter—great. But at what cost? They’re a perfect example of how technology is slowly cutting us off from each other.
