The OLD iPod

Okay, so maybe it's not THAT old, but compared to all the new ones with the colors, it looks old. I mean, really, if you compared this old Shuffle with the new one, you'd see a lot of differences.
One, this is a lot taller than the new one. The new Shuffle is about an inch by 3/4 of an inch. Amazing. Two, this one only comes in white, even though you can get colored covers for it like I did. The new ones come in, how many colors? Let's see, there's blue, purple, gray, black, orange, green, and a whole bunch of others that I can't name right now. And three, at least this one can connect to a computer without you having to search for a USB cord. There's already a connecter built into it on the bottom. The new one requires a cord. HA!
I'm probably the only one with this Shuffle nowadays, mostly because it doesn't make sense to get a new one when yours already works perfectly. People will go out and buy new electronics, just because they're there. They'll make the excuse, "Oh, everyone else has one! I'll be so different if I don't get one RIGHT NOW!" And you know what? People are just wasting their money because in about three years, if you can bear to wait that long, the price will go WAYYY down. Or so my dad says. But he can only talk because he WON his three iPods by doing something for his work. Whatever it was.
And then I meet people who have more iPods than they do family members. WHY? What's the point of that? Nobody's gonna use them. Maybe you should sell them on eBay and see if anyone will buy a used iPod. I highly doubt it though.
What is the world coming to? Everyone has to go spend money on useless things. Only poor people know the real value of money. Someday, a lot of people will be poor because they're buying a lot of useless junk that never helped anyone. You'll see.
