Music at the push of a button

MP3 players, cable TV and the internet are mankind's greatest inventions.

I love knowing that wherever I go, I've got all my music with me, stored on my iPod.

I can switch from Taiwanese rap to Elton John to 80s heavy metal in an instant.

It's ideal for when you're on the treadmill and you want to listen to something other than the soul-less music they play at the gym.

I remember the days when we were using CDs and Mini-Discs. Those were dark times.

You needed a special case to carry them because they were too big for the pocket.

They also used up batteries very quickly.
