I started another discussion and it led to this thought. Isn't it absolutely amazing the technology that we have today. Just think, only 20 short years ago, computers weren't even in every home. Today there are sometimes 2 or 3 computers. With that came the invention of MP3 players and IPods. I love my Ipod. I carry it with me everywhere I go. Isn't it absolutely amazing that such a little thing can carry so much music. I remember when the only thing we had to listen to music on was record players and you couldn't carry that much music with you. Now you can carry your whole colleciton of music, no matter how big, in your back pocket. Try that with a boom box!!
What do you all think about that? Do you remember when that was the case? How does the use of Ipod or MP3 players play a role in your life?

I love my Ipod and honestly I don't know how I ever lived without it, lol. I take it everywhere with me and if I forget it I have to go back. I remember when I thought discmans were the best thing ever.

Haha, yes, I think we all thought that the discman was the greatest thing going down the pike. Actually, I guess back then they were. They will still much easier than carrying a boom box around, but you still had to carry all of those daggone CD's everywhere.

ipods are really amazing discovery by apple...they are handy and are real players that will facinate all the teenagers...great to hear songs in them...only negative is that they dont have bluetooth and the headphones they provide is not that good...otherwise it tops everyones gadget list..

Yes, the earphones are horrible. Especially on the newer models. I don't really care about the bluetooth cause I don't use that anyway, but the headphones do need to be better considering how much money we spend on the Ipod!

Ipods are amazing and I totally agree with you.
Music alone plays a big part in our daily living.
Music can make us happy and help chase the boredom away.
With this little piece of gadgets you can live in the
top of the mountains with only your ipods for a companion.
Just kidding.

Yes, I am not sure what I would do if I didn't have music. It surely would be a bleak world to live in.

Yes, I love my classic as well and got it for the same reason, not enough memory for the money on the touch as far as I am concerned. Thanks for the great comment, have a really fantastic weekend.

ROFLOL some people used to do just that with a boom box! I saw someone walking down the street with one not that long ago and thought I had stepped in a time warp.

hmm, I haven't seen that. Is that a new feature on a new ipod or is it something that we just didn't know was a capability? Thanks Canellita!

Yes, I totally agree, I got an Ipod Touch 16 gigabyte, and when I saw that sucker, I feel in love with it! I also started a blog, so I could tell lots of others about it!
My blog consists of what is good and bad about the Ipod Touch, and what Applications I use the most, and why I like it, and such.
This is the Website if you wanna check it out! http://huiho-IpodTouch.blogspot.com
Happy Mylotting =)

Thanks I will check it out. I can't beleive that I have over a thousand songs on my Ipod and that I can still put thousands and thousands more on it and never have to worry about getting sick of the same old song. Great for travelling in the car because you don't have to fumble with a bunch of CD's or flipping the radio staion!! I have the 16GB classic, but touch may be the next venture :-)

Heck, I remember when the transistor radio came out and everyone was carrying those around with little earpieces--no headphones back then, you got it in one ear or listened so everyone had to hear it! We were all amazed at how small they could make a radio, it was only the size of a small paperback novel!
