Dulles Airport

While waiting for my flight in Dullas I observed a few passengers listening to mp3s while waiting to board the plane. Here are some of my observations.

• There are 7 people listening to MP3 players while waiting in the terminal for a flight to Heathrow Airpot in England.
• Two young men are listening to ipods as they sit alone. Both are reading the paper, one is reading the sports section while the other is reading the front page.
  
• A teenage girl is listening to an ipod with her family of 5. While the family is all talking to each other, the teenage girl listens to her ipod, but still interacts in the conversation. She never removes her earpieces to talk or listen to what someone else is saying. The parents of the girl do not seem to care that the girl is listening to music instead of interacting with the family.
  
• A couple are sitting next to each other, both listening to seperate ipod. They sparidocally chat with each other. Sometimes they remove their earpieces, but the majority of the time they either continued to listen to music while they chatted, or they stopped their mp3 player.
  
• Two boys are watching a video on their video ipod. They are sharing there earphones, each boy with one earpiece. They watch the video until the flight boards. The parents are next to them reading.
