I bought a digital voice recorder for the research project interviews, and it's got an mp3 player which can be fun for a change, but I do feel a bit 'cut off' when I'm wandering around London in a little musical bubble. On the other hand I usually read a book on the tube so maybe that's just as bad - not that there's much chance of a conversation down there! I can definitely see the value of the iPod for learning, maybe I'll get organised enough to download podcasts on it. I don’t really have it in for the iPod, although I don’t have one myself.

I've often had similar thoughts when I've noticed people "off in their own worlds" doing a job and listening to their iPods. I must admit, though, that I'm from a different generation. My son gave me an iPod for Christmas last year. I rarely use it for music, but I do enjoy listening to seminars from the "Teaching Company." It's a great way to get new knowledge and information. I'm currently halfway through Robert Greenberg's 32 part series on Bach. Some other recent favorites have been on economics, 20th century science, and neurophysiology.
