Steve Jobs was an amazing man who changed our habits. I by no means want to disrespect the genius, but I don't iWalk. When walking, I don't use an iPhone or an iPod. I listen to nothing except what the world provides to my ears. I'm not following some altruistic path. I just think it is too dangerous.
Techie Gordan listens to eBooks while he walks. He walks for many hours per day. He is still alive and unharmed. I won't take that risk.
Even if the wind is to my back, I often can't hear cars coming up behind me. And that is with my ears wide open. If I were listening to an iPod or such, I would never hear anything. I fear my dogs would be dragging home a pretty banged up carcass.
Or maybe the dogs would leave me by the side of the road and run away, stopping at the first house that offered a quick treat. Checking Kim would be very concerned until she was certain the dogs were safe. I'm sure the glue wagon would find me eventually.
Anyway, I don't iWalk.
