My iPod Touch has gone from a nifty little extravagance to an integral part of my life. It stores all my music. It holds videos to entertain me when the doctor is running 45 minutes late. It is my alarm clock. My personal assistant. I listen to it at home and at work and in the car driving to and from work.
I use it to check the weather forecast in the morning. I use it to keep the kids occupied with games and videos. I download comic books via the Comixology app. Ask me about my kids and I’ll show you their digital pictures and maybe even a couple of home videos.
She… I mean, it… just an it… goes with me everywhere I go. My work schedule and personal schedule, in as much as they can be separated, are both contained entirely within the 16 MB memory of my little iPod Touch.
This is my second iPod. The first was the iPod photo, the last model before they went to video. That eventually wore out, but not before it reminded me that everything Apple makes ‘just works’. I was so impressed that when my PC broke down, I spent the extra money and bought the cheapest, low end Mac on the market. That was eight years ago. One operating system and two memory upgrades later it is still running.
The only problem that I’ve ever had with my Mac was when my 2 year old son shoved a Playstation disk upside down into the disk drive. Other than that – not a single crash, not one virus in eight years.
So iPod has not only revolutionized my entertainment and personal organization world, but also indirectly changed my whole computing life as well. iPod Touch is the next step in the my evolution into “Mac Guy”. And I’m loving every minute of it.
