How Headphones Changed the World - Derek Thompson
Cool Quotes:
"The triumph of headphones is that they create, in a public space, an oasis of privacy" (Thompson)
"What music steals in acute concentration, it returns to us in the form of good vibes." (Thompson)
"To visit a modern office place is to walk into a room with a dozen songs playing simultaneously but to hear none of them." (Thompson)
"Headphones give us absolute control over our audio-environment, allowing us to privatize our public spaces." (Thompson)
"But it also represents nothing less than a fundamental shift in humans' basic relationship to music." (Thompson)
"...the creation of sound from electrical signals." (Thompson)
"Songs don't leave behind fossils." (Thompson)
"Headphones did for music what writing and literacy did for language. They made it private." (Thompson)
"Music together with dance co-evolved biologically and culturally to serve as a technology of social bonding." (Wallin & Merker)
"If music evolved as a social glue for the species -- as a way to make groups and keep them together -- headphones allow music to be enjoyed friendlessly -- as a way to savor our privacy, in heightened solitude." (Thompson)
"Radio made music transmittable. Cars made music mobile. Speakers made music big, and silicon chips made music small. But headphones might represent the most important inflection point in music history." (Thompson)
"Loneliness is one of the first things ordinary Americans spend their money achieving." (Marche)
"You feel safe if you can feel people there, but you don't want to interact with them." (Leinberger)
"I am here, but I am separate." (Thompson)
""The answers have been there all along. We just weren't listening." (Lehrer)

"Headphones have the capacity to make our music like our thoughts." (Thompson)
"music causes us to relax and reflect and pause." (Thompson
"The price of self-determination and self-reliance has often been loneliness. Americans have always been willing to pay that price." (Marche)
" headphones make us anti-social." (Thompson)
