shopping for an ipod classic has made me wonder why i want an ipod classic. it’s something that has one singular function (a function that my phone does pretty well) and i think it’s exactly because of that that i want one. of course, the argument of the nostalgia factor is there, but the simplicity of it all is attractive to me... i would like to focus on the music only and enjoy how tactile and nice the buttons and the build quality is on one of those things…
of course in terms of other tech the nostalgia is probably playing a bigger part in it, like using an old iphone for your instagram photos for the grain and lower quality… but i think getting the most life possible out of these things is a really fun and responsible thing to do and it should be more common.
