Computer systems and whatnot

We use computers everyday for tasks ranging from simple to complex. We use computers because we’re too lazy to find out the answers to anything on our own, and since computers are able to process information much faster than a normal human being. Computers are important because they revolutionize the world and make everything better and (yawns), okay, this boring me already. So here’s the deal: I use my ipod everyday to listen to music. Why? Because I like music. And no, I don’t mean an iphone, I mean a legitimate, living, breathing, ipod. Cause those totally exist.

Anyways, this system is very common and not unique since it’s so common. Surely every good American citizen knows what an ipod is, and if they don’t I’d like to know what rock they’re living under so I can join them. It gets scary up here on the surface. I’m just kidding, don’t look so offended over there! To be more specific about what I’m talking about exactly, I will be discussing the ipod nano, 2008 model.

So, you want to be a millionaire? Well, this is the wrong place for you, my friend. Instead I’ll tell you all about the ipod and why you should mortgage your home to buy these expensive and awesome devices!

How did the magical ipod first come to be? Many believe that Steve Jobs, the former CEO of Apple, created the ipod. They’re what we call “wrong.” According to a somewhat reliable article I read, the idea of an mp3 player first came from Kane Kramer, a British inventor who first thought of a portable music playing device way back in 1979. That means the ipod has been around for about >grabs calculator< 35 years. Unfortunately for Kramer, his business wasn’t very successful and he couldn’t afford to keep the patent on his invention. As for the ipod nano  specifically, the device was constructed by inventor Tony Fadell, who had the help of Steve Jobs and other engineers to make his idea come to life.

How difficult would life be without this system? A hard question to answer, really. I don’t know about you, but listening to music is one of the few things that keep me sane. With that said, not much would change aside from concerts would become much more popular and more people would be inclined to learn how to play an instrument to have music more readily available.

That's it for this blog.
