Electronics

Music is such a big thing in this world right now in society that it’s hard to get away from now a days.  Many people bring their iPod, nanos, mp3 players, and yes, even boom boxes to where they go.  I had gone shopping with my little sister this past weekend to get a prom dress for her and when we arrived at the malls in Milwaukee, it seemed though everyone had some type of headset on to listen to music as they were mall walking or shopping.  I personally have not invested in one but I had bought one for my husband for his birthday a few years back.  I admit, I somewhat live under a rock so it’s different for me to sit there or walk to places with an iPod strapped onto my arm or in my hands.

Even working out, people take music as their inspiration.  I can say, I  don’t work out at the gym like I should but when I hear people talk about their trips to the gym, that’s what they have to live by in order to get through the reps or the walks they’re doing.

Society has an image of using things like an iPod to get through things like getting through life with it.  Younger kids are now prone to have one as they do things, like chores, or just sitting in their room to just listen to music.  Whether it’s to get though a heart break, or to dance, or even just to do homework. 

When I was growing up, I never really had things like that to help me through some things kids today go through.  I wonder, can they ever survive without electronics and have a healthy life like I did?   One can only imagine what music does to you but will society ever accept the fact that iPods, nanos, or mp3 players might not be gone one day like 8-tracks?  Only time will tell where we and society might lead to, until then, I’ll just have to sit back and still wonder, what will happen when things don’t exist anymore!?
