When apples where things we ate?

In my lifetime how we listen to music has been revolutionised. I remember the days of walkmans and tapes and then came discmans and CD's and now we can fit thousands of songs in the palm of our hand. iPods have changed how we listen to music, how we gain access to music and the cost of music. iPods have the ability to carry around your entire collection of music, videos and photos in your pocket. Long gone are the days of scratched CD's that cost a fortune and your entire wall filled with rack after rack of CD's. iPods have opened so many doors that allow for infinite possiblities. iPods give the ordinary person access to any song they want. In the past if you wanted a specific song you would either have to wait for hours for it to come onto the radio and then quickly record it onto tapes or you would have to buy a whole CD for one song. iPods are taking us into the future, they save us time, space and money. Who knows with this revolutionary development what other doors will open. Maybe older forms of media, like the radio will become unnecessary as people move into a world dominated by iPods?

It's true Katherine, i-pods save us time, space and money but this decrease the sales of music because there is no longer need to buy a CD of which you only like one song on it!
