Death OF AN IPOD

Two weeks ago my ipod died… No, I didn’t drop it while running on the treadmill nor did it burst into flames but it started making this awful grinding sound and even when I tried to plug it in I got this disturbingly Sad Apple Icon Face.

So I “Got my Google on” and found the troubleshooting website what a marvelous world we live in where the answer to (almost) any problem can be found online. Of course I had to hop over to the Apple Online store as I have been meaning to upgrade to the Black and Red U2 Video Ipod.

Surprisingly the earth did not stop spinning, sure my jog through central park will be lacking the sounds of The Fray's latest single but for the first time in a long time I had the chance to listen to the sounds of the city that I love so much. You would expect the sounds of honking horns mixed with the sweet chirping birds to be quite a cacophony but I found the blend to be surprisingly melodic and soothing.

So I am thinking of taking this experiment further maybe taking the time to purge more of the technological devices that I have become so reliant upon… I’ll keep you posted!
