Many people often tell me, they can’t leave the house
without their mobile phone. While I do love my mobile phone to bits, there is
one gadget that I cannot live without, and it’s not my mobile phone. It’s my 4th
generation iPod which has been part of my life since 2009.
My super cool mom gave it to me as a birthday gift. It has
been through changing boyfriends, jobs, freelance work and unemployment. It was
my very first apple device and the only apple device I own. Apart from the fact
that I cannot afford apple products, it is also the only apple product I truly
fell in love with. I found the click wheel to be such as great thing! While
this might sound odd that I am raving about an old product, I felt like this
thing never got enough praise from me. So here’s why I love my iPod to bits:
1. It has never conked out on me. This includes the
fact that it has gotten wet a couple of times, has fallen off my bed way too often and has survived my son’s
saliva baths. Whenever anything goes wrong, I just have to dry it out, wipe it
clean and then wait for about an hour till it dries and then restart the thing
and boom! It’s all ok.
2. It’s easy to use on the go. Now this feature is
because of two things: first is the fact that it is easy to operate, the second
reason being the fact that it is easy to shoot into any pocket or bag opening
because it is so sleek and thin. This makes it most handy for me, because I need
to have music all the time, I listen to music like I need my atmosphere to have
some kind of background music to it, like the movies.
3.
It has saved my life, so many times. I can’t
tell you the number of times wearing my ipod has saved me from hearing stupid
comments, bad jokes and terrible lies about myself and other people that could
have resulted to heated arguments and possibly some physical harm. It has also
saved others from me punching them in the face for making some overly forward and
sexually charged comments about my appearance.
4.
It’s a very sentimental thing. My mom raised us
very practically and often times, we got nice stuff like gadgets when we did
good, and by good I mean had good grades or accomplished something. Like when I
got second honors in second grade, I got some pricey toys, when I graduated
elementary, I got a TV in my room as a gift, then in college when I got really
good grades, I got a sweet Sony Ericsson phone. So I was surprised my mom got
me an ipod for my birthday considering I wasn’t really an awesome person in the
year 2009 and did not do anything worth being proud of.
I really love my iPod and I dread the day when it finally
gives up and stops working. Hopefully it will take a long time before that
happens, and by then I do hope Apple makes an iPod with a similar design and
similar price, so I can buy a new one that feels just like the old one. J
