I was listening to my iPod the other day just enjoying the music when the thought came to me... I remember when I listened to music on a "portable" cassette player, that was probably just a little smaller than one of my shoes, played songs in order, and had terrible battery life. Furthermore, I am positive that I thought it was wonderful. Then came CD's with all their majesty. The portable Walkman, with the ability to skip around the CD, and if you were really cool it had the anti-skip protection.
Here I sit taking this slim, easily pocket sized, pick which song you would like to play next, with a 24 hour battery life for granted. It astounds me how fast technology changes and how quickly accept them as just everyday things. Its nice when life slows down enough for you to enjoy the things that you have for a little while.
