Kristin Melton-- Natural Setting 2

In class and while on the Noland trail, we talked about how people do not experience nature because they are distracted with technology. I found this interesting because often time I see runners outside who are jogging obviously for exercise.  These people usually have headphone in that are connected to an ipod or cell phone. The only reason I find this to be odd is because they are outside. If they were in a gym and listening to some type of device, it blends in, and the scenery is not so great so it makes sense to want something to distract yourself. When outside, there are various natural things to observe that people are just brushing by. Take out the headphones and listen to the birds sing.
