'Thinking about sound, proximity and distance in western experience: The case of odysseus's walkman' - Michael Bull
This essay explores the modern day 'walkman' culture, shutting off our surroundings and being emersed within our own personal music and the way in which radio (and presumably Television) have effected modern society.
"Users no longer commune with those next to them but with the 'distant' voices transmitted through the ether"
"The radio listeners privatise their already private space of experience"
