"The least of learning is done in the classrooms."

NSW Police Force has released a print campaign to raise awareness of the fact that the number of teenagers dying as a result of listening to ipods whilst they cross the road is beginning to reach “epidemic proportions”.
The trend of owning hot entertaining gadgets has been rising these years. Popular hobbies, such as listening to ipods has reached to a highly serious level, causing these tragic accidents.
The reason behind so much addicts is that the technology has advanced greatly that the sound quality is now made to be perfect, but too perfect that people are starting to be overdistracted by it.
We should learn to concentrate on one thing at a time. Streets are dangerous places, therefpre we should be even more careful.
I think you've hit the right chord, hidden. The gadget makers want you to bring your "home" to the outside world. Take iPod as an example, Apple wants to bring the message to people that you can bring your whole music collection with you. It makes you feel like "home" even when you're, say, crossing the road. Accidents happen because of this.
From now on, I'm going to choose some good articles occasionally for you to read. These are usually quality articles which have in-depth analyses of current issues. They will all be labelled as "A+". "A+" articles are articles of more difficult in nature. It is not a good idea for you to browse through them quickly. You need to be serious in reading them. I will use "A+" articles for future discussion or writing purposes.
