Thing #7: Blogging about Technology

As the parent of a technology-savy teenager, I watch my son in amazement at how comfortable he is with his discovery of and adaptation to new technologies. Be it gaming on the Xbox, IMing friends on the computer, texting friends on the phone, he is "in his element." However, his "favorite" device would have to be his iPod. This technology especially intrigues me. Yes, there are iPods out there, but not just one kind. iPod shuffles, nanos, classics and now the iPod touch bring the concept of listening to music and watching video to outrageous levels! The iPod classic is 4.1" tall, 2.4" wide and 0.41" deep, yet it can store up to 40,000 songs and 200 hours of video. Check out this link: http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/. I am beyond amazed by this technology. However, my son takes it all in stride and cannot wait for the "next" generation... what will that be able to do?!
