Social dangers with iPods

A teacher in Australia is banning students from bringing iPods to class because the teacher believes that with 10,000 songs you will end up with 0 friends.

The idea is that peoples are tuned into themselves and are not out socializing with other kids which could lead to problems later in the childs life.

Although the point has some validity it is rather easy to poke fun at. The original story, published last week, has been taken quite a following and one group of journalists from The Register have even gone as far as creating pseudo disclaimers, similar to those found on cigarettes. Some of these include:

ÒiPodding seriously damages your chances of getting laid.Ó

ÒiPodding is boring for you and for those around you.Ó

And finally the cure?

ÒFor help giving up iPodding, call your local music teacher.Ó
