Headphones are the new wall.

- Ray Udeshi cited by John Tierney in From Cubicles, Cry for Quiet Pierces Office Buzz via NYTimes.com, discussing how office workers deal with the increasing noise in open space offices. (via stoweboyd)

An old observation, but I wonder if we realized how ingrained headphones was about to become in our working lives. For me it is not just about shielding, but also a tool for keeping in touch with the development of thoughts a ideas by listening to speeches and recorded conversations.
