Cellphones, iTunes, iPod : iDistracted

Many are anticipating the imminent ( possibly Sept. 7, 2005) introduction of the cellphone-music player-made by Motorola and Apple. Who will pass the oppotunity to upgrade their next cellphone with iTunes capability. Driving is boring and high gas prices only make it worse. Distraction will help. Never mind the near misses with cellphone use. Now music can be added with the help of earphones. With that added cocooning listening experience, honks from other motorists, screams from pedestrians or needless conversations from passengers will not be noticed.

Technology has brought many benefits with one hand and has taken a proportianate amount of human relevance with the other. Is there a better use of one's time ? Use a tool lose your place-or a fender.
