MP3 Players Would Make People Anti Social

The availability of MP3 Player in this world seems make a lot of phenomenon that we can get. Beside, the MP3 itself that cause songs to be “free to get” or “un-priced”, it seems that the MP3 phenomenon has also changed people way of life. The innovation of MP3 Player has changed the people way of listening to the music to be more “popish” and “easy to get bored”. Just see the availability of Ipod in this world. People nowadays, are easy to get this kind of technology in their daily environment. Most of the consumer is also teenagers and kids (although some adults are having it also).

If you see from the people physiology, if they are listening to the music, they would usually don’t care to their situation around. They just enjoy their music from their MP3 Players without having any responses to others. Well, maybe it’s because they cannot listen to other conversation (or maybe they are just ignores it) because they are too serious to listen to their music. Why at this term, I talked about MP3 Players, rather than CD players, or Tape Recorder? Because now days, MP3 Players are more easy to get, and usually cheaper than the other type of music players. It’s usually reachable for the middle and the high class of economy in the past, but I think now, the low class economy can afford to get those kinds of gears.

This is actually able to be some kind of threat to the youth. If we saw down the street, teenage are now are “close eared” with a pair of earphones, with some music played in their ears. As music lovers, I think that music are settled if we hear it in some kind of serious place, or at least in a place that we were able to relax and enjoy the music. Not in the public places / place where we hang out with friends or family. Music is a personal activity. If we were listening to it, we would despair the environment around us, and the activities among us.

I totally agree if those actions are important to increase the soul of the music. But I think if it’s “too much” and set in a wrong place, it will harm people psychology. People (teenage especially) who have to prefer communicate with others, are like being “walled” by music. The time for socializes, seems to be ignored, and they would prefer to listen to their favorite songs from their music players. Our youth will be lack of socialize, and develop some kind of an individualist character of people!

Giving the children some significant place to socialize and changes minds to others should stop this. The environment and the development of technologies now days seems didn’t care for children way of thinking as the youth of the nation!

We should be aware of this!
