They're international, plus they also look sexy and cool. So we've embraced the next generational propagation. From 8 tracks, records, cassettes, CDs, to now the iPod . Listening to Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, and then some Bob Marley I sensed myself being sucked into this cult of the just have to have its. And wouldn't you, An iPod lets you put 10,000 songs inside something that has the dimensions a little larger than a pack of breath mints. Extinct are the heavy, frail Walk and Discman that used to skip after each movement. Is the iPod vacillating the way we listen to music? Undeniably. With an iPod, we can get our music anywhere, and not just one album like we could with the others. Now we can carry our entire collections everywhere we go. It can play mixes at parties. You can bring it on the commute to work or for a jog. You can save Microsoft Word docs on it and even photos. Don't care for a particular tune on an album just Delete it. Thanks to the iPod, music has become an even larger piece of our lives because now it's just a click away, and it's precisely how we desire it. Aside from the prospect of having our entire collections being alongside us at all times, the iPod's capabilities have done something even better. By being capable to cumulate above 700 albums, the iPod is now encouraging us to try different types of music genres we might not have listened to previously. And copying a CD to an iPod takes only a slight few minutes, what's there then to lose. But is it all just a trend? That's unpredictable, but it's arduous to illustrate something individuals now say they can't live without, unless of course that Apple finds a new way to outshine itself in the future.
