A year ago today, I splurged and bought myself an iPod. I spent about $300 to have the ability to carry 1,000 songs in my pocket. In the span of a year, this little thing has been with me to a lot of different places. It’s been with me to Boston, Hawaii, Vegas and countless trips down to San Diego. Not to mention all the times I stayed up late studying for tests or just walking across campus for my next class.

A year later, the world is a much different place. For the same amount of money, you can buy an iPod that holds twice as many songs, has more features, and it comes in a smaller form factor. Apple also has sold over a million of them, so it’s more likely you’ll see someone out in public sporting the white headphones. Sometimes people try to show off that they have a 3rd generation iPod by having it on the table or on their lap or whatever. It’s at this point where I take out my iPod to “change” the song and flash them my 1st generation iPod. Then they realize that I’ve had mine longer than they have.
