It's official. I've given into the temptation of the iPod. I know you may be sitting there wondering why I'm bringing an iPod to a communication discussion...well I've found out in the 24 hours that I've had it that having an iPod is almost like being in a club. It doesn't just play music, it has games, calendars, world clocks, a notepad, shows photos, videos...it never ends...the only thing it doesn't do is have a phone on it...oh yeah, they just created that too (thats where I draw the line.) My mom just gave me her Palm handheld, and it's almost completely useless to me now considering everything I do on the handheld I can now do on my mp3 player.
I can communicate my whole life through this device, and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. I'm finally growing accustomed to the fact that my cell phone can tell me where I am anywhere in the world through G.P.S. I'm not sure I'm comfortable yet with my music telling me what time it is in Nicaragua and being an on the road replacement for my gaming console...I also have found out that I can subscribe to podcasts of nearly anybody or anything that puts one out. People can communicate nearly anything they want people to hear through the internet, and through the "iPod community."
Does anybody else find it frightening sometimes how much technology and communication blurs into one device, and how much we are actually drones when we have a particular device activated? It's like the first week when we learned how iPods can be used to put up a wall...HA, I guess if you think about it, with Apple throwing everything and the kitchen sink into a 5 inch plastic/tin case...they now even put the wall up for us so we don't have to.
