iPod..
If I had to choose one belonging to have with me while stranded on an island, I think I would most likely want my iPod with me. I really don’t know what I would do without it. The iPod truly is an amazing invention. You can easily take it with you anywhere, and at the same time, have access to thousands of songs (depending on what model you have). What’s great about these tiny little devices is you can make it very personal by adding playlists and pictures, videos, and more. I especially like how it is classified by artists, songs, albums, genres, composers, and compilations. If I’m craving to listen to rock ballads, I just go to “Music,”" Genres,” and then “Rock,” and pick the song that I want. If I’m in the mood for My Chemical Romance, I go to “Artists” instead. Creating playlists are even better, because it is a way of classifying songs by what you think they have in common, whether they are to sing along to, dance to, or have it as background music while writing blogs. So to me, iPods are very efficient to have, since it is so much easier having all of my music in one place, rather than millions of CDs. I remember back when I was maybe nine or ten I would always change the CDs because I would get bored so easily of the same artist and the same songs. Eventually I started burning CDs with my favorite songs by different artists, but those could only fit maybe twenty songs, and I would, after a while, get bored of those too. But now, with the iPod, I can just press shuffle and listen to a variety of music.
There’s only one problem that I have with the Apple company. The iPods just keep coming and coming out with new editions which are always somehow better than the last. Only in 2001 did the very first iPod come out. Then we started seeing the iPod Mini’s, the Nano’s, the Shuffle.. Then the Mini’s weren’t being made, but even newer generations of the Classic, Nano, and Shuffle came out. And finally… the iPhone and iTouch came out. This advancement in technology occurred so fast that I didn’t even have time to take in the second generation of the Nano. This all happens so stupidly fast that one second you’re happy with the newest version of whatever you may have, and not even a year later are you already wanting what they’ve made next. I first got an iPod (the first generation of Nano) when I turned twelve. This past Christmas, I got the newest version (3rd generation Nano). I will admit that I did get sucked into the competition of who has the newest iPod, but who hasn’t? And if you do have an iPod, I’m sure there’s been a time where you wished you had the latest edition. I just think that things would be a whole lot easier if the Apple company weren’t so desperate to get out their newest invention every two months. But then again, I have to thank them for this ingenious idea of theirs, because without my iPod, I don’t think I could possibly survive. Okay, maybe not that exaggerated, but I’m guessing that you kind of get the point; without my iPod, things would be extremely different for me.
And just so the name of this blog actually fits into what I write, I’m going to start concluding my entries with the title of my blog…
Feel the beat!!!!
