Well, I am happy to say what feels like the longest 24 hours
of my life is finally over. As i sit here in my room curled up in the corner
with disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes, the withdrawals have taken their toll
on me. Just kidding! I went 24 hours without my iPod, and I would have to say
it was a bit inconvenient. I usually enjoy listening to music through my iPod
in the car, when I do my homework, and at night when I am in bed. However, I have
had to live without this luxury for the last 24 hours. Doing something like
this really exposes your dependence on these little pieces of technology that
have become such a huge part of our lives. For me, music is an absolute must. I
am always listening to new stuff, and my iPod gets plenty of use. So to state
the obvious, just because I couldn’t use my iPod didn’t stop me from listening
to music. I found myself going back through time, and busting out old CD's and
super old and cheap boombox. It was fun
though. I had forgotten about all the great classic CD's I had. It didn’t stop
there though, I went back even further and used my record player a fair amount.
Now the ipod may be a lot more convenient since you don’t have to replace CD's
or change the side of the record, the sound quality is noticeably worse.
Listening to music on a CD or a record sounds SO much better, and gives
it that cool vintage feel. In the end, it really was not that hard. I have
plenty great substitutions for the ipod, and it made me appreciate them a lot more.
