10 Things The ‘iPod Generation’ Will Never Experience…
Hey you kids! Get the hell off my lawn! With your gameboys and iPods and knife crime. You don’t know you’re born. Back in my day we’d walk seven miles to pick up a CD from our local record store.

The Loss Of The 'Casual Hello'
A few years back, the Ipod came out and it seems, with it, we lost many opportunities for, what I’ll call, the ‘casual hello.’ The setup for this is simple: Remember, ‘back in the day,’ when somebody would walk by and you could look up, or walk up to them, and say, ‘hello?’ Remember that?
