I Can't Live Without My Darling iPod

摘要

As I Write this, I am listen-ing to one of my many mood-sensitive playlists from the iPod library on my computer. I'm not one of the hip, trendy twenty-(or even thirty-) somethings you see gyrating wildly in the TV ads; I am a busy 43-year-old stay-at-home mother of three active boys. I am not alone in my obsession. Everywhere you look you will find us, "soccer moms" ferrying our kids to sports practices and games and whiling away the long hours of waiting by eagerly comparing accessories and trading songs with other baby-boomer moms. Even Radio Shack has picked up on the trend—it now advertises iPods for "moms and grads." Not moms and dads, mind you, moms and grads.
