ipod = ihappy

i can honestly say that i love my ipod. i rarely leave home without it, i go running with it, i download new music nearly every week, i even have a roadtrip in the car so that i can play it while i'm driving (the roadtrip is way better than the itrip,by the way, b/c it actually has a holder for the ipod and charges it while you drive instead of draining the battery like the itrip did) . I think that part of this obsession with my idea of the greatest technology/ made available to consumers on a mass level since the cell phone is that i actually just really love music. But as I was thinking about how ridiculously successful Apple has been with the device and all its variations and accessories (and the sales of songs in itunes) and why this occured. What kind of society are we that Steve Jobs and all the people at Apple can create a small, cute little thing that just sells.
The ipod basically allows you to listen to whatever music you want, whenever and whereever you want. If you have the video ipod, you can even watch tv shows, movies and music videos too. it is quality entertainment in your pocket. And in our very individualized and high speed lives, it fits the spot perfectly.
