Times Have Changed!!

There is something very strange about being part of a family where there is such a vast chasm in ages between my kids and the other grandkids. My oldest is 9 whereas the next youngest grandchild is 18. Talk about a generation gap! Birthday’s, Christmas’, High School Graduations–these are all gifting moments that aren’t that easy for me to ‘gift’!
When I was their age we didn’t have any of the hi-tech gizmo’s that they have–and their lives seem to revolve around! We had very “old” computers in my high school–old fashioned typewriters, and the beloved Sony Walkman!! Have you seen what these kids carry around lately? Of course you haven’t! They are so small-so thin-so compact–but they can each hold like 600 songs! If I wanted 600 songs traveling with me–I would have needed a backpack to carry all of my cassette tapes!!
Sansa e280 MP3 player is an example of what I’m talking about! It’s very thin at 0.5″–I don’t know how any teenage keeps track of something so small–have you seen their bedrooms?? The nice thing is that it runs on replaceable and rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries, and offers up to 20 hours worth of battery life. This is a flash based player that provides everything you need for music, photo and video clip playback! If you need more memory there is an expandable memory available through a MicroSD memory card slot.
I guess it isn’t too hard to see why these MP3 players are all the rage! Kids really do have some pretty good knowledge when it comes to their music equipment–just like we were with ours!!
