Byte me gym go'ers!

Greetings All,

    So I am working out the other day and I noticed something that I just hadn't connected before.  How many personal electronic devices do you see people using at the gym these days?  On the cardio machines it's all about having a Kindle going while sweating.  Over on the free weight floor I lost count how many devices people use there, Ipods, iphones, droids, zens. 
    I can remember way back (possibly in another life) being made fun of for my very large and bulky "portable" CD player.  "Why don't you just use a cassette player (A.K.A. Walkman)?" They would ask.  Isn't that funny?  The kids who had the electronics back in the day were nerds, now this is just the norm.
    Of course it is also a blurry line for who is going to the gym now a days.  I work out in a gym that is very close to a high school and I see jocks and nerds workout side by side, but I have noted very little interaction between them.  Ok so it's a good thing that nerds are going to the gym, but I only wish it would provide more common ground for social interaction.
