Entering the modern age
I’ve been resisting entering the modern age. I admit it. I’m technologically challenged! I prefer cassette tapes to CDs, I prefer VHS tapes to DVDs. And I have resisted getting an IPOD or MP3 player like crazy. I like my old “Walkman” cassette player; it works great! I just pop in a cassette tape and press play and I get to listen to my favorite tape! But I have to admit that the IPODs and MP3 players are smaller, and therefore easier to transport. And I can store hundreds of songs on them and don’t have to lug around a bunch of tapes to swap in and out of them. So I have finally ordered an MP3 player.
I asked my kids for help in picking one out, and they basically told me that they are pretty much all alike, and to buy a “cheap one.” So I think I ordered one where I can pick the song from a menu (I hope!) and not just have to put up with a random shuffle. It is supposed to be arriving in the mail shortly; I’m anxiously waiting for it so I can check it out! Who knows, maybe I can start to embrace the “modern age” after all! Just don’t ask me to text message anyone on my cell phone!
