CD Players
It seems only yesterday that CD players were the device to have, and “mp3″ was just a typo of “MP5″. Pause and glance around a bit and you’ll find cell phones, iPods, laptops, tablets that all play music. We’ve come a long way since 8-tracks, but it hasn’t been a picnic. So before we get lost in the new wave of music players (I’m hoping the standard will be Vorbis), I’m gonna stop and remember a bit of the [shitty] past.
It’s Monday morning and I’m testing out my brand new Sony Walkman CD player, complete with “The Wall”, by Pink Floyd. I strut onto the bus, feeling so cool as I deftly handle the hot, new gadget. Sitting down amongst the ever-so-faint “ooohs” and “aaahs”, I switch it on, fix crap headphones on my head, and while away the trip to school to Comfortably Numb.
*BUMP* *SKIP*
Fuck.
