I know him, and he is a pretty horrible person.
He got expelled from our school.
It was a good article, but he kind of ruined it.

I think if you put aside the fact that this is a child that is pointing out the aesthetic differences in the walkman verses the Ipod, you can not deny that when it comes to technology, things become outdated at a time warp speed, in comparison to other things. Now the changes that take place may be great, but lasting…well that is another story, which may be do to its shelf life of what is not obsolete.

There can be some benefits to owning a Walkman:

At least you know if you left the Walkman somewhere, it would still be there when you returned. Can’t say the same for the iPod.

No problems with song formats or DRMs either.

Wouldn’t have to install a Mega Goliath iTunes on your computer either to get songs.

If your computer crashed, you would still have your songs.

You wouldn’t accidently wash your Walkman either.

Please add to this…

why is everyone treating walkmans (walkmen?) as if they were on the same scale as steam engines and phonographs? i put mine down just 4-5 years ago, only after mp3 players stopped being gimp and overpriced. and all my cassettes are still with me, because, guess what, there’s still a device that can play them and it’s called a CASSETTE PLAYER.

horrifying how quickly the consumerist societies outdate everything.

Good for him. Not particularly sure if the interest is because of his age or his heritage, but I can’t wait to hear more from him

Does anyone expect iPods to still be working like this walkman does 30 years from now?

This is great. Reminds me of the old days when I had a walkmen. I think I might go look for mine and play it just to see how it was. Now if I could only find a tape to play…..

Sorry, *CrunchGear* Intern.

For a second there my CV was lying about the fact that I had worked at Techcrunch.

I’m not sure of the definition of intern but if it’s sending you an email asking if I can write for you then my email is on its way.

I’ve already put my time as a Techcrunch Intern on my CV. It was a good, if brief, experience but feel like I learned a lot.

I say, let him write. Half the reviewed stuff is geared towards a 13 year old.

Well, the Walkman did come in different colors (maybe not the first version). Mine was red and I still have it and it still works to this day.

And you kids should get outta here and play outside. In my days, kids were not spending their time in front of a TV or their Internet and they weren’t that chubby….

Wait. Am I turninng old? :)
