I doubt the BBC poured all its resources into producing this article. You're being a bit dramatic. Plus, I think it's just as important to remember and reflect upon technologies of past ages as it is to speculate about future technologies. Kids today should be aware of these things as it should give them much more respect for what we have, seeing how far we've come. I found the article interesting.
- SamAtt 17y agoThe resources I was referring to was the kid's time and the point I was making is that this article provided no insight that an adult who thought on the issue for half a minute couldn't have come up. If you're going to have this seemingly intelligent kid spend time writing a piece why not try to get some insight out of him that is useful and that the rest of us don't already know. Heck, if you asked the kid a series of questions and had one of them be "What do you think of this Walkman?" that would be ok. But the whole reason the piece is so frustrating is because it's a waste. Have the kid hold a walkman for 5 minutes and he'll tell you everything you heard in this article.
- kenver 17y agoI also thought it was quiet interesting, considering some of the rubbish my licence fee goes on, I'm pretty sure this one is insignificant on the expenses front. It took me by surprise that there are a generation of kids out there who have probably never seen a tape, these are things that were cutting edge during my time growing up, even the move to CD. I remember taking my cassette players apart and fiddling with them to see how they worked. Unfortuantely you cant really do that with the modern stuff, which is a shame. I'm turning into my father!
