Portable music devises: Music everywhere, anytime, and anywhere.
Long ago it was walkmans or you carried a portable radio. We were murder one batteries. Today iPods MP3 players are an essential part of people’s everyday existence. (Kajko 2006). The young, adolescence, the middle aged, and the old enjoy having their music accessible anywhere and anytime. IPods and MP3 players are devices that make listening to your favorite music, books, poetry, motivational audio, a convenience.
If you wanted to listen to any type of audio presentation you had to buy it recorded on tape, or tape it yourself for use on your walkman or boom box, or listen to live radio on portable radios, or stay at home to enjoy your audios Then technology revealed CD’s (compact disk) players. However, you had a case for your CD’s player a case to carry CD’s: just a hassle and CD’s were very fragile. Now all audios are downloaded from the internet or computers (Hardyment 2007).
IPOD and MP# player accessories are more advanced also. Accessories that can hook up your portable device to your car (iTrips), or hooked to a portable device transforms your portable device into a miniradio station (Broadcast win is music to iPod listeners ears 2006), in your house, share with your friends and family with a portable charging deck, amplifiers, high tech earphones portable speakers, and many more accessories making portable devices easy to use everywhere, anytime, and anywhere a real convenience for consumers of audio today. Downloaded music, books, poetry and other audio presentation are a lot more enjoyable today and less work, and hassle than it use to be in my day. Love the new technology of portable devices such as: iPods and MP3 players and their accessories.

iPhone Fad or future in gadgets
iPhone’s seem to be the must have item of 2007. People camped out, waited in lines for hours, and sacrificed a lot of time and money. Reviews are mixed on whether it way actually worth the effort and time put into acquiring this phone. Is it only a phone or is it what we need to be mobile in our everyday operations of multitasking? Or has entertainment so captivated our minds that we can not just have a few moments without having the need to be entertained?
Michael’s says in his article iPhone,”The iPhone was certain to dominate headlines from the moment Steve Jobs first unveiled it. The more impressive feat was living up to the hype. But that’s exactly what the iPhone did upon its June debut.” Michael’s goes on to explain that the iPhone gives us the tools we could want to due business on the go. The iPhone is the revolution of handheld devices or is it just another PDA? One more devise we toss aside for the next greats and latest gadget. Reviews from consumers seem to be mixed on whether it is the revolution in smart phones or just a fad to have the latest or the right now gadget. Like all new products the iPhone has its problems Apple welcoming third-party applications (Michael’s 2008).
Seems as if everyone you communicate with they desirer an iPhone. Greenberg claims it to be the Holy Grail for brand. Having the selling and buying power in the palm of your hands anytime anywhere. (Greenberg, 2007)

Fades, Fads & Fashions
Today's fashions are fads which have cycled through history. For instant as I look at the shoes which are popular today such as the Adidas, Kswiss, White Girls, Converses, etc. These shoes were popular when I was a teen.
As a matter of fact the Timberlands (TIMS) were work boots at one time. I recall my father wearing similar boots to work. Some had steel toes and they were only available in black or brown. They were purchased because they were durable and reasonably priced.Today we call them TIMS and they are fashionable for boys and girls and they come in a variety of colors and styles. They are no longer a work boot but they make a fashion statement. The price is no longer reasonable but very expensive.
Teens are not concerned about the price but they want to be fashionable.Throwback shoes such as Adidas, Kswiss, White Girls, Converse, etc. are no longer at throwback prices. Even this blast from the past is expensive.
Platforms shoes, jellies (Candies), mall hair (big hair) pencil jeans (skinny jeans) all flash back fads from the past.Leggings were very popular in the 80's under mini skirts and knee shorts (Bermuda shorts).Now they are Capri’s. Long sweater wide waist belts and leggings and flat step-ins were a popular outfit in my wardrobe in the 80's. A Flash dance spinoff.
Fashion is a cycle everything that is popular today was popular way back then only differences the quality and texture. Today the styles are the same the 70's, 80's but today's youth have a wider array of color and textures.
Should of just saved my clothing and shoes for my teen daughter.
