Chick-Fil: Observation Of Headphone Wires

Decent Essays
I am sitting in the Student Commons behind Chick-fil-a observing a guy sitting at a table with two chairs. He sat down with a 1/3 full bottle of ginger ale.
What was much unexpected was the guy stopped what he was doing, took off his headphones to untangle them. A couple minutes later, he adjusted his headphone wires three more times. He keeps touching his headphone wires. It seems to me that the guy is very bothered by his headphones being twisted and curled. He tried to make them straight and untangled again.
He is leaning over his head so it is completely over the table looking down at his phone, while he is holding the bottle of ginger ale with both hands. I am guessing he is wasting his time in between classes, or could be waiting for

    Chick-fil-a located on 1262 Northlake Blvd, Lake Park, FL 33403 is an amazing break from the traditional fast food chains most of us are accustomed to. The warm and inviting environment mixed with the savory food is why they get five stars in my book. Although they specialize in chicken, they also serve salads, ice cream, and milkshakes. Along with their delicious lemonade and sweet tea. Their authenticity doesn't stop with their chicken sandwich they also have their own sauce to go along with it.…

    Nicholas Carr, a Harvard graduate writes this article, "Is Google Making Us Stupid," to underline a potential danger the evolution of the net poses to Americans. The article published in The Atlantic, one of the most respected literary magazines based out of DC, seeks to raise caution to the American people as to our reliance on "instant" information, which may be reducing our thinking capabilities, leading to consequences such as being "drained of our 'inner repertory of dense cultural inheritance.' " While Carr's argument lies entrenched in the potential loss of thought of the human mind, he does admit that his argument might be just one of "worry." However, his extensive research might prove otherwise.…

    As society grows, technology grows with it. Technology has been around for many years and advances at the same rate, if not faster, than humans. It is remarkable how much technology has developed, yet it is also terrifying. We, as humans, rely on our technology to entertain us, to speak for us, and even to think for us. In Paul Barnwell’s article, “My Students Don’t Know How to Have a Conversation,” he effectively uses rhetorical strategies through the use of imagery, relating to the readers, and using his credibility as a teacher to convey to his readers that students rely heavily on technology to a point where they cannot communicate to another human being without using their screens as a crutch.…

It showed me the beauty of living in one of the boroughs that makes up New York City and has taught me to be a strong person. It’s not made for the weak.…
