It's good to set limits but I think mp3 players are great when you need to relax, especially on the plane. Regarding the worries over theft, just buy a cheapy.

There is nothing wrong with crutches when you need them. I have been far from home in really alienating situations, and the little taste of home afforded by the Ipod gave me some much needed comfort. It did not deter me from having my "authentic experience." It just let me regroup to face the sometimes very stressful experince of world travel alone. I think the more experince you get the less you would have to rely on crutches like the ipod. I always have lots of interactions with or without my Ipods. I think the Ipod is a crutch.

I don't use mine on trips (aside from long incoming and outgoing flights) because I don't want to miss anything. Overheard conversations can be great, too, as well as the general noise of a place. #3 makes a lot of sense, but I can't read on buses without getting violently ill. It's a major travel limitation.

Personally when traveling, I only listen to my iPod to break up long flights (better than Valium) or to listen in bed as I'm falling asleep. Most of the time I keep it in inside the pack. Although in most cities (and increasingly small towns) around the world, it seems that everyone is staring at or yelling into their cell phone, creating just as big a gap. Great post.

It seems like I'm supposed to feel guilty for owning an iPod and therefore should not use it in a developing nation. Is it my obligation not to show/use it, or could I use the iPod as a conversation piece? I think #2 is a good point, but I think not bringing an iPod (or other gadget) helps to make you look like less of a target (as hard as it may be to not completely look out of place).
