Simple things are worth blogging about

The generation of young folks today, who search online for music downloads, may not remember the Walkmans we use to have. The Sony Walkman was a radio/cassette player music lovers could take with them anywhere they went. They have been replaced by technology. Now the ipods are the musical devices of choice and they are much easier to use than the older generation of Walkmans. These new music gadgets allow listeners to bring a whole library of songs with them to where ever they choose to go. We often see professional athletes arriving at a major airport or unloading one by one from a team bus and just about each player on the team, will be sporting a Ipod listening device from their ear. They have to bring their music with them, just like the teen generation does today. I would like to conduct a survey and see how many teenagers know what a Walkman is? I’m willing to guess half of them could not explain what one is and it’s another sign of the technology that continues to improve our daily lives.

Am a little sorry to have read this because I still have a Sony Walkman (in good working order), even have a bunch of cassettes for it. I own a MP4 player with a library of songs in it too, but had thought about going out with my old Walkman. From what you suggest about times passing and technology, maybe someone might notice me with the Walkman and suddenly I’d be followed by burly guys in white overalls staring intently at me, carrying a weird-looking jacket with long arms.
LOL….maybe I didn’t choose my words the best. Just trying to let some know how Ipods are the newer listener devices of today. The walkmans are still good and I also still have some cassettes for mine too. Now if we could just get Wal-Mart to start selling some 8 track tapes, we would be all set!
