The podcast “Ways of hearing #2 – SPACE” by Krukowski refers to how he grew up in the city with sounds and noises of sirens, the wind, and trains; however it all seems to have changed due to technology. Krukowski claims that “with all these headphones is like we are avoiding ear contact”. I agree with Krukowski, before when there was less technology in the streets people had no option but pay attention to their surroundings and was stuck with the noise that the city brings however now if we go on a train we see more than 80% of the people on a phone, with headphones/AirPods on or on a kindle and the other 15% is probably with someone else such as a friend or family member having a conversation. We can all agree that we have been guilty of this when we get on a train we don’t want to hear the loud noise that the train makes, little kids crying, people talking over each other so we put our headphones on and it is like if we are in our universe. We try to avoid strangers talking to us or people asking for money and when we have our headphones on people understand that we are trying to not be disturbed.
