Once Upon a Time

by Eddie Walchem

Once upon a time, we didn't enjoy all the technological gadgets that we do today. You would be hard-pressed to find someone who could even have imagined of the iPod Nano around 20 years ago. No one could have imagine a video game system as powerful as the Xbox 360. And who could have imagined a bulky, shoulder-mounted video camera turning into a tiny, hand held digital video camcorder? When you look at the past 20 years, it's amazing to think of all the technological advances that have been made. Now, you can do into any store or Refurbished Electronics dealer and find a whole range of amazing electronic items.

Can you imagine not having an Apple iPod Nanoto take with you when you go out? Why not imagine not having your iPod Nano with you? They could only listen to songs on cassette tapes, vinyl records, or heaven forbid, the old classic 8-track player. And as for taking songs with them, that was out of the question. Even though we can bring our music with us wherever we go by using the Apple iPod Nano, one has to remember that portable music players, like the original Walkman, weren't introduced to the public until 1980, which isn't even 30 years ago.

It's interesting to wonder what people did for fun and entertainment many years ago. Back then, they went to the movies, while today, you can download them on your Sony PSP. They may have just goofed off, which we can all do today and share with the whole world by using a digital camcorder. Sitting around listening to music is also a nice way to kill time, but why sit around when today, you can listen while on the go with your Apple iPod Nano? No matter what people did for fun and entertainment in the past, we can now do it bigger, better, louder and faster with a whole array of electronics at our disposal.
