Technology...Need vs. Convenience???

Technology s such a large part of our lives, but if I had to live without one piece of the many technologies I use I think it could be my ipod. Although music is a big part of my life I could live without my constant use of my ipod. I listen to my ipod in the car, at the gym and basically any time I am bored. Although I would have less entertainment and would have trouble getting in the zone at the gym it is possible to live without. As long as I have my computer I have all of my music downloaded and available to me at all times. In the car I do not have to play my ipod I can listen to the radio or ride in silence. At the gym I can listen to the music that is playing throughout the whole gym, it is more about having a rhythm in my head than picking the song I want, although picking my own song does make it easier. It weird to think of all the technological gadget we have now a days, like ipods. Plus all the stuff that goes with them, adapters to be able to connect it to your car radio, ihome to be able to listen to it at home like a radio, paying for itunes, time spent and so much more that goes along with this one little gadget. Plus if you break you have to spend more money to replace because it has become such a part of your life. haha
