This small lonely thingy was in a bag of junk our daughter gave us. I thought it was a remote for something.
But it's an iPod.
A complete mystery to me personally, the Missus seemed to know about iPods, although we've never had one.
Being interested in boomer tech like VHS and Super 8, I wondered whether anyone will collect stuff like iPods in the future?
Did this Apple gizmo last long? Was it a sort of music centre? What did it replace and what replaced it?
Like Mini discs and Laserdiscs, iPods simply passed me by and thus stilk hold some mystery.
Where you an iPodder?
I did briefly have a go with one. They don't do it for me. I like hard physical copies ofmy stuff, not virtual, digital stuff that you effectively rent. Also, they have a non replaceable rechargeable battery which doesn't last forever.
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm hard copy too Kev.LPs, cassettes and CDs!
DeleteThese are actually still quite desirable with the current generation Z. Early 90's digital cameras are favoured for that 'pixellated' look as well as Nokia mobile phones. I'd charge it up and see what your daughter was listening to, then put it on ebay! Bill
ReplyDeleteWeve got some Nokias!
