The iPod is turning 25—and I’m still holding on to mine! 🎶

This is such a great article, and I related so much to the writer rediscovering his old iPod—the click wheel for scrolling through songs, the wired headphones, no Bluetooth option. Finally, I felt like I wasn’t alone!

You see, I still have my old, thin purple iPod that my partner continues to mock me for. 😂 It’s a piece of history—and memories—that I refuse to let go of.

It holds more than 2,800 songs, some duds, but mostly songs that I grew up with in the early aughts, when downloading from the internet was a thing. I won’t even connect it to my laptop for fear I’ll somehow mess it all up!

I still use it when I fly - this thing has never heard of airplane mode! 😂 The battery barely hangs on, especially if I start skipping songs, but then a song I haven’t heard in years rings through my ears and all those good music memories come rushing back! 

Anyone else still have their old iPod? Do you use it, or keep it for the memories?

(And please ignore my shredded charger - do they even make those anymore?)
