Music and Tech.

Technology is such an odd thing. I recently learned that a new British Naval ship was equipped with iPod docking stations. Think of the past: When I was in the army we walkmans with tapes. Eventually, the ole' accounts receivable conversion was ramped up and I was bought a CD player. My first CD player was mini one so I could play it in the car.

Since then I have dumped CDs for MP3 files. After I converted all my CDs, I only purchased one or two more CDs since 2001. Now iTunes has 256K bit rate music for 1.39 all without DRM.

One of the odd parts is that a Record was popular for over 30 years. I wonder how long MP3 files will last.
