Maggie I totally agree! The tuning out from those with whom we have momentary and chance encounters is one of the great losses of our modern times. The conversations with passers-by and acquaintances and neighbors and store clerks - these are all part of the great tapestry of the human experience. To lose it all to the headphones is a great loss for one and all. I do feel there will be a pendulum swing the other way when it is realized how big this loss actually is. Oh yes!
