It was the Tech Tangents video and I was intrigued by the device and its simplicity. I do have a slight fascination of older technology that has been superseded by another all encompassing device. I still rock a flash modded iPod, even though I have my phone and access to every song via some kind of streaming service. It reminds me of a simpler times where, in this case, the user was not distracted by everything else a computer can do now of days. Now is this more apparent when it comes to writing. I personally will not write a blog post continuously, I will get distracted and go look at Reddit or my email. I have had several posts in drafts for months and I can normally get a paragraph out before something dings and I am gone.</p>
