I was biking to my work and passed two people on bikes cycling next to each other. To my surprise I heard the sound of an iPod’s ear-phone coming from one of them. I thought: “How impolite to cycle next to someone while listening to your own music on your earphones.”
Looking a little better I noticed neither of them actually was wearing headphones. Then I realized the sound I heard was not from an i-Pod but from a small bird in the shrubbery alongside the road.
Modern times: recognizing a sound first as electronic and only then as natural…
