Kaleidoscope

I told my grandfather that it was so important to have a walkman to learn English! I thought he believed me and bought me one!

This was in my college days and the first thing I did with my walkman was to listen to songs.

That experience was so vivid and memorable. Suddenly, amidst the voices, I heard the sound of drum in one ear; from there it was rolling to the other. Somewhere at the center of my head, I heard voices. wow!

I was listening to the songs from an audio cassette all along the night of my travel from my home town to my college town. That was fascinating!

After college, I landed up in a job. The first gadget that I bought was a Sony stereo system. My second job was in States, the gadget country. I bought 3 ipods so far, sold one, lost one and gifted the last one. From 12 songs an audio cassette to 10,000 in a device smaller than the audio cassette in size! Never have I imagined that I would get hold of such a device in hand. At this juncture, I recollect what one of my friends said. He said, America is a land of technology and invention; that is inherent in the land and it will be so for future.

True it is. Now, we are in the era of Ipod touch, Zune, Zen and what not. What I learnt is that Asian companies are also catching up; come up with their own creativity in the models. Recently I bought a Samsung MP3 2 GB player that can hold 500 songs, so tiny and with a distinct feature called 3d sound. Personal musical players' market is indeed competitive, with a lot of choices for the buyers.  Every product has one or two unique features, a style and a memorable name. Hats off to competition! I do not want to do a gadget review here, but simply to express my admiration for these devices and thank the creative spirit of their producers!

Thanks to apple, creative, microsoft and samsung websites for the pictures.
