Be More Ipod Aware

Listening to tunes in public can leave you vulnerable.
The coolest thing about mobile music is that it allows you to tune out the world around you so you can peacefully chill in your own musical bubble. Problems, you may also end up tuned out to subtle signs of danger.
"Studies show that gadgets like mp3 players lower a person's awareness and slow down their reaction time." So even though you think you're paying enough attention, you're actually much more likely to ignore a red light or not realize that a sketchy guy is following you." Play it safe by keeping the volume low or by wearing only one ear bud.
Stay tuned in to your surroundings.
