Time Warp


Have you noticed how the ipod appears to be leading the way backwards? When I was young, headphones were these big things that clamped on to either side of your head and covered your ears completely. Then new innovations came along and they got smaller. Initially they sat on the ears rather than around them. Followed by ear clips. Finally smaller still so we had the ear buds. All that has changed and we are moving back towards the big headphones again. Look on the trains, business men in suits with headphones on, the bigger and shinier the better. Big is the new black.
