It goes on into one guy deciding to try turning it off and talking to a girl, and he's barely coherent, but she's so impressed by his "going quiet" she's all over him like a cheap suit. That is a future I'm afraid we're going towards.   I once read a short story about a future where everyone had these head pieces that piped music into their ears constantly, and put up augmented reality info in glasses, such as the name of the person you’re talking to and conversation topics.  The device had no off button.
