Listen Up People...

This is a fascinating social experiment that my prove that we are all moving just a little too fast...cell phones, subway schedules, iPods, laptops...so many gadgets and circumstances vying for our attention. Are we losing our ability to appreciate the simple pleasures in life? By the looks of this video, we are so caught up in our own little worlds that we fail to recognize the amazing things going on three feet away. World renowned violinist, Joshua Bell and The Washington Post set up an experiment in the DC Metro to see if anyone was paying attention as they went about their business during rush hour. Would commuters notice one of the world's most talented musicians if he was right next to them playing? What happened is really astounding. Read the Washington Post article.
