Sounds like a self-correcting problem. We consume too much too fast, and our population is resized to be supported sufficiently by the available resources - whether by choice or by necessity. Yeah it's going to suck if you're not one of the survivors, but the end result will be either that we're forced to create technologies to circumvent the problem out of necessity, or we'll have learned a lesson (hah!) for the second time around.

Funny - I have a Sony clock radio and when I put my iPod in there, it plays music. It also wakes me up in the morning at the time I set on the alarm. I also own a Sony eReader, and when I tap on one of my books, the words come up on the screen and, when I swipe my finger across the page, it advances forward or backward accordingly.

No masochism involved.

Audio pollution isn't something you get to have control over. Feel free to tell someone they're being annoying, but sometimes you're just going to have to deal with someone talking on their phone in a way that annoys you. If it's not that, it will be someone talking loudly to the person standing next to them. Or a person honking their horn to much or for no reason. Or someone with their cell phone's speaker turned on as they listen to MP3s. Or jackhammers or machinery or the buzz of a refrigerator. How are you going to jam that?
