It feels just like yesterday when the first Ipod was launched in 2001. I remember wanting an ipod and going to school seeing students with the trademark white head phones that made them so cool. After a while, the ipod became a craze and some did anything to get an ipod. I remember staying at my uncles house one day to learn that his neighbor's son was killed because he refused to give up his ipod and sneakers to a few robbers. The ipod, a large item at that time, has still maintained the craze it began with and people continue to purchase it everyday. As ipod days increase, it has become smaller and smaller. Comparing it to the shuffle I had in the past, the new shuffle is smaller than half the size of the original one! How can we fit so many things into sucha small object, I wonder... hmmm ...
What has the ipod done for us and what does it do to us.
Ofcourse, everyone can say this new media device is an "on the go" device because it can go wherever you do. It is convenient and a source of entertainment. It allows you to be entertained 24/7! Who wouldn't like that? You can play games, add music, and even watch your favorite television shows!! So convenient..
My big question is HOW FAR WILL APPLE GO?
With its unique capabilities, the ipod is slowly taking the place of the television, radio, and even books!!! It is no longer a requirement to turn your radio on to hear it because you can just download it to your ipod and lsiten at your own pace. Now, the Iphone exists and it is a mini computer that is taking the place of computers. It has everything a computer does and more!!
Will the ipod be the most reliable tool in a few years? Will we no longer have to purchase computers, newspapers, or televisions?
What some don't pay attention to is how much we pay to have an ipod. First, it is not a cheap item. Second, inorder to maintain your ipod and add new applications such as games, and music, you have to purchase these items from Itunes. 
Downloading is an option with the probability of a fine or even jail time (yikes!!) So to stay on the safe side, we purchase all this audio at acceptable and affordable prices, but in the end it all adds up to $$$$$$$ . Here's a link to an ipod touch review that I found interesting: http://www.macworld.com/article/141835/2009/07/ipod_touch_ascendant.html?t=206... Enjoy!!!!
