Stephen Fellows- Nolan Trail

As was discussed in class the other day walking is a way to bring people closer together and allows for more communication than driving. I thought that this was a very good idea. Since it has been nicer outside the last couple weeks I have been running on the Nolan Trail rather than in the gym and I have seen a lot of people out walking or running together which proves that walking is one way people will bond. However, I also saw that technology is invading the walk. While on my way b I noticed a couple walking towards me both were wearing headphones and carrying iPods and vitamin waters. If they had been running I would not have found this odd but because they appeared to be walking at a leisurely pace I thought it was interesting that people could go out on a walk with each other and not actually speak during it.
