Ipods

A few years ago, I was not hearing anything about iPods. It seemed to me that people Were concerned with their disk players. I was not hearing anything about storing up to 1000 songs in a unit. However, now, that has changed. I read that more than 1000000 of these things have been sold. What happens next? When something new comes out, will people give away their iPods to buy the new device? Why do we try to look like others? This tells me that we are in that child stage where the child says to his or her parents, “I want that.” After some minutes in which the child has a tantrum, the parents agree to buy that thing for the child. However, in this case, the grown person does not have rules that he or she has to follow. I ask my self, “how far will humans go to get what they want?” If in their early years, they had tantrums, now that they have grown, will they steal to get what they want? Or will they be in debt to pay for that device that they don’t need. Hopefully, we will see that most important thing is not who has the latest gadget, but who is able to be satisfied with what they have.
