Walkman vs. MP3
From 1982 to 1985, I lived with my walkman permanently attached to my body. I especially liked wearing when I did research in the library. It was so quiet in there (not like most libraries these days), and it was kind of cool that I was listening to blaringly loud music in such a solemn environment.
Today, I don’t live with it on, but my cell phone has an MP3 in it and I wear it when I go for walks. Actually, when you compare the two, other than size, they really aren’t that different. Here’s a Sony ICDU60 - 512MB Digital Voice Recorder w/ MP3 & Storage Device. Okay, I know, smaller in this instance is better, and it doesn’t just play music. But still, when you compare the two visually, not a whole lot of difference.
