Is Listening To Music Socialily Alienating?

I don’t see how any music-related device can be socially alienating. Music has always been a social activity. Even cavemen were making music banging on rocks with sticks.

Blast forward to the twenty-first century and even one single iPod-listening kid is still participating in a social activity by listening to his iPod. That kid is finding out about new bands and recommending music to his friends. It’s all a complex social activity even though the act of listening to music with headphones might be done solitarily. But I’ve got some news for everyone, headphones have been around longer than the iPod!
