The article is about a 13 year old Scott Campbell who trades his Ipod for a 30year old Walkman.It was a very enjoyable read and a funny one too. The funniest part in the article was when he admits that it took him 3 days to figure out that there was music on the other side of the tape.

Scott compares these two portable music players in terms of sound, convinience, design, size and functionality. I have to admit and agree with Scott that Ipod is way better than walkman considering all those factors mentioned above.But if we consider the simplicity and usability factor, i beleive the 30 year old Walkman is better than the Ipod. All we have to remember is the play button, rewind button and the forward button. With Ipod on the other hand, there are so many functionalities available that most of us don't even considering exploring all of them.

Walkman and Ipod are both great innovations but nothing is here to stay.A thing of today will most certainly be a thing of the past in the future. But the question is will we able to keep up with the advancement of technology? I certainly hope so......
