Headphone -ear buds playing music and noise-canceling.
The headphone has it's advantages and disadvantages depending on how,where and when we use it.
Studies have shown that listening to music motivates people to work and also helps drives productivity depending on the kind of job.
It is also a means of distracting unwanted interruptions in places of work and providing a personal work environment.
According to another research published in the journal injury prevention.Pedestrians who wear headphones while walking are at greater risk of serious injury or even death than people who don't.
Another research shows that about 29% of cases,victims who were hit by cars apparently failed to hear the warning sounds of horns and sirens.
With these informations publicly known by people on major causes of road accidents is the use of headphones.lt is a great wonder why we still have people going about our streets with headphones on their heads even in busy areas where we have lots of fast moving cars.
I sampled some individuals opinion on this and here are some of their responses.
*lt 's trendy.
*lt's part of my dressing.
*l just flow with it because people are .
*lt makes me look cool.
*l cant do without music.
Headphones very useful and also with a disadvantage when used improperly.
Question:What is your view on the use of headphones on the streets?
