Dec 12 2012: Sorry, but I have to debate this issue. The "drug of the century" is the IPOD/IPAD. They really are a great technology, but people, please!!! There is a place and time to use them! Certainly NOT when you're driving or walking!!! People walk into me all the time at the mall, at school, and grocery! They are OBLIVIOUS to what's going on around them!!!
It's not all IPOD/IPAD Users I'm talking about. I refer to people who use them use them as their LONE means of communication and who are OBLIVIOUS in this way.
So, I nominate the IPOD/IPAD
