New iPod Shuffle makes me feel sad & old


Kinda sad about the new iPod shuffle.
I just got an iPhone.
But now I have 2 buy a new shuff-phone

Yall. I'm pissed. Every time I buy a new Mac product that I'm promised is the best product in the history of mankind, I have to get a new product in like 3 months. Getting really angry that 25% of my annual income goes to Apple. It's starting 2 add up and I think I'm going to have to cut back on my 'going out' budget to focus on using my tech devices.

Everything just keeps getting smaller & faster. I think it just means that AZN ppl who work in factories are 'learning how 2 make things better', like that Daft Punk anthem.

But srsly yall... I'm still just a sucker for products that are painted different colours. Still thinking about what colour represents ME.

I kind of miss the days when technology was 'a bigger sacrifice.' Sort of like a scarlet letter, except in a good way. Cell phones were 'huge.' Computers were not 'portable.' Disc space took up a lot of physical space [via floppy discs --> CDs --> flash drives]. Feel like it's just easier to 'get gimmicked' into technological lifestyle brands. Ppl don't even evaluate their needs n e more. Ppl assume that since it is 'newer', it is more useful. Also, if ur getting a gift some some1, it makes it seem like u care more if the gift is 'the hottest new product' that is getting a lot of headlines.

Just feeling kind of detached from society these days.  Might move 2 the woods with a record player.

Do yall like the 'design' of the new iPod shuffle, or were u let down that it didn't have a 1 inch X 1 inch touch screen Graphic User Interface?
