Riding the train to and from uni throughout the week there's one thing that really intrigues me and that is seeing the older lot wearing headphones usually iPods/iPhones but there are the odd other MP3's.
By older lot I mean the 40+ lot who have got some grey hair. I've always seen technology as being more embraced by the young and in the past haven't really seen the older generation embrace technology so much. Maybe it's something to do with Apples 'hip' advertising that makes them feel young again.
I also sometimes wonder what an old man will be listening to. I seriously doubt it's R&B or punk rock, for some odd reason I picture them listening to some opera or Mozart or listening to some audio books, which would really be an interesting evolution from reading books on the train. I just use my iPhone to read the morning news instead of the daily Metro, this way I don't litter after reading the newspaper.
Maybe I should take off my own headphones off and ask next time I see an old guy.
