iPod therefore iAm

Space is a rare commodity in the modern world. And as our personal space shrinks, more and more of us are trying to create or seek out new forms of personal space. Many of us resort to plugging in, be it an iPod, PSP2 or a cell phone. We plug in, hoping to tune out and by doing so create our own "pod", in which we are isolated from the rest of the world. Suddenly our personal space becomes defined only by the length of our playlist. It is logical that when outward expansion reaches its limits, it is time to search inwards? But humanity has always been defined by the space it collectively inhabits, space which has shaped human cultures, forged history and spawn disciplines such as architecture and design. So what will happen when this space suddenly becomes subjective? When humanity as a whole is unable to relate to the individualism of the personal worlds we have created. When we don't let anyone but ourselves into our "pods". I wonder if we are on the Right track?
