It's a paternalistic measure, but something that makes sense. How many
runners, walkers and cyclists get hit by cars while listening to Walkmans
since their introduction in the 80s? Now iPods. Although, in NYC at least,
it's usually the hipsters who sport the ubiquitous white Q-tip earphones all
over the streets, subways and curbs, bridges, wherever, and there's
something to be said about Darwinism.
