Honestly, I don't get it why people love to have headphones hanging on them all the time! It's like, a vital organ which is part of their body and without it they will become MAD! OK. I'm not against this but PLEASE! It's totally alright having headphones on while you're alone for you might be so bloody bored with nature to take notice of it. But when you're with a friend and have that silly wire on, it's rude. Are you telling that your friend is actually such a boring person that you have to have that thing on you? Well, as it is already rude enough to have earphones when you are with a friend, I think it is bloody rude to have earphones on during a class or when somebody is giving a speech. Imagine you are a teacher, lecturing and a student is looking at you with earphones on! Yes, he might be the type who can kill two birds with a stone, but the perception he gives to the outside world is 'You're boring and I'm so not interested!' Is this how we want our students to be?
And then comes another party claiming prolonged or extensive usage of headphones is bad for health as it can cause hearing impairment. Yet we see an increase of headphones being used! What is this? Negative x negative makes a positive? It's funny how some complain that a noisy surrounding makes it difficult for them to study, yet it is them who use headphones! Ironic isn't it? Some blast the volume to the maximum until the person standing a metre away could hear the song clearly! It is no wonder that teenagers nowadays do not understand instructions as they are becoming deaf!
Headphones while jogging! Wow! How brilliant can one be?! The reason God gave us the ability to hear is so that we can use that extra sense to be alert of our surroundings! Have you ever thought of the fact that while jogging you could be kidnapped or harmed? And while the attacker is creeping behind you, you are too busy listening to 'Boom Boom Pow'! Good! Being unaware of your surroundings, you can now sing all the songs while you are gagged and tied up or hurt on the hospital bed!
It amazes me to think of the fact that modern people who are so advanced in technology have stopped thinking of the simple rationale of life! As I said earlier, I'm not against headphones. It is wise to use it when you are ALONE in the crowd but not when you are with COMPANY in the crowd!
