Kid swaps ipod for walkman
In an experiment purely designed to make anyone over the age of 35 feel completely cheated by the pace of technological development, a 13 year old kid swapped his iPod touch for a 30 year old Sony Walkman. In the same way that he’d have been pretty disappointed being force fed a Vesta curry, the Walkman unsurprisingly ‘sucked’ in every possible way. The most insightful comment was the fact that it took him three days to discover a second side to a tape, and that the Metal/Normal setting wasn’t a crap genre shuffle mode.
As it’s the 30th anniversary of the Walkman we’d surely expect a rumor about Sony releasing an phone/gaming/touchscreen/portable music player too.
