I say, BBC’s longest running radio show Desert Island Discs (which also holds the Guinness world record) is outdated, at least it’s concept is! Not withstanding and overlooking the advent of Sony’s walkman and CDman, this newest technological gem casts a retro shadow over the show.
I am talking about the new apple of my eye, iPod! Apple’s and Job’s latest heart -throbbing device which has swept a lousy techno geek like me off his feet!
It’s the first inseparable possession of mine (after the glamorous first grade computer text book which I wouldn’t let go).
Master of a mammoth memory of 30 Gb, it’s exactly 3/4th of my home p.c.’s disk space, yet not even 1/100th of its size. Music on the go! Joe satriani all the time! What more can I ask for? (other than a Joe Satch signatured elec.guitar, an Enzo Ferrari, a chartered plane of my own…. oops!)
I mean I’m pretty much satisfied with my laid back life right now. So even if I am a castaway on this BBC’s desert island, I don’t have to pick 8 of my favourite records( and with audio books on the pod, I don’t even have to bother about my favourite books on the deserted island!)…..I got’em all on the apple of my i!
P.S.: Given my iPod, I don’t even have to bother to pick an inanimate luxury too! Man, how compact this device is!!
