Getting Inside People’s Heads

January 4, 2009 Leave a Comment

Today it dawned on me how some technology can have the unforeseen consequence of allowing us to get a view inside a person’s head.

While driving down the street today my radio station was overwhelmed by the broadcast of a nearby car’s iPod FM broadcast device. Curiosity took hold; I looked around and only saw one car close enough to be the source. I sped ahead at the next light to test my theory.  Yup, as I pulled away from the car, the car’s broadcast ended and my radio station came back in; they had to be the source.

When I pulled up to the next stop light I glanced over to see the driver; I was curious to see if my mental picture of the person who the music belong to was accurate.  Not even close.  Looking at the driver, I just couldn’t  quiet imagine them listening to the music I had heard.  And yet, the music had to be coming from her vehicle.

Sometimes you get a chance to see beyond the surface of a stranger. Thanks to the wonder of technology this can happen when you least expect it.
