The Border Mail asks "Do iPods make people forgetful?"

Are iPod users more forgetful? Less social? Dumber? The Border Mail offers an article that suggests that the latest workplace tool has its negative points. The article quotes Anil Sabharwal, a recruitment expert, who says that iPods used to help train employees and offer local color tips, might be used–hold onto your hats now–to listen to music, discouraging interaction among staff. What a shocker. In other news, water runs down hill and the universe continues to expand. As for the bits about forgetfulness and dumbness, we, um, forgot what we were going to, er, say about the topic.
