What Will Be Obsolete Next?

Things are coming out so fast these days that they become obsolete the moment you bring them home. It seems we are always upgrading and improving technology and all their accessories. It is almost impossible to keep up with this ever growing field especially in the music division. There once was a time when all you needed to listen to your music was a turntable and a record. Back then you were considered ‘boss’ if you had the 45 adapter.

Time goes on and things evolve into more practical objects, so then appeared the eight track cassette player, which was wonderful to drive around in your car and listen to the Fifth Dimension sing about their beautiful balloon. But as the eighties grew near people decided they wanted to listen to their tunes while walking, so the walkman was invented. This at the time seemed like the best of the best. Not only could you run around with your new Cars tape playing, but you could make a mixed tape and listen to all your favorite songs in a row. Or if you were the romantic type you would stay up all night and make that perfect mixed tape for you new crush.

But low and behold this wasn’t the epitome of excellence because as the 90’S appeared on the horizon so did the compact disc. This virtually indestructible disk had a higher resolution which gave the listener a more intense musical experience. Plus you could hit a number and play whatever song you desired without having to fast-forward or rewind the entire tape.

But wait that was not the bee’s knees that everyone thought it was. As the millennium closed the iPod appeared. With this device you could download all your music and have every song on one little portable device. Of course in the last decade engineers have improved on the iPod and added lots of extras.

Now they have added a phone to go with the iPod, or is it the other way around? Either way it still seems that as soon as you get the iphone 3g and a few iphone 3gs cases for decoration, you need to upgrade. Sure enough they went and added a computer to all of it and in one bundle you have the ipod 4g with more ipod 4g cases and accessories than anyone in the seventies could have ever dreamed of.

It might seem that we are at out zenith with our ipod 4g’s and those new silicone ipod 4g cases, but imagine what we will be listening to in the year 2020 or what about 2050? Those iphone 3gs cases will be in some museum of retro objects of the past, probably right next to a shag green carpet.
