You can have an iPod.When you see very elderly people remove the earphones.They may want to talk about the World War, the *just*war.Younger people may be Korean and Vietnam vets who dont seem to like to talk about their wars too much.In any case the art of conversation is best practised at a party or a club or a pub.I have noticed that folks dont even look at others at waiting rooms,subways,supermarkets at al,leave alone the other public places.I have been to countries where people keep talking to strangers,even asking very personal questions.Single women travelling in India are invariably asked why they are not married and will be told it was time to get married to have children.iPod is perhaps useful to shut out the world.
