Connections to the Past

I recently acquired an IPhone. I am still trying to figure out and understand the capabilities of it and I probably won't get it until it is time for a new one.

Anyway, one of the cool apps for the IPhone, or any computer for that fact, is a music player called Pandora. So, I downloaded the Pandora app (it makes me feel cool to say app) to my IPhone and I occasionally listen to it with the headphones that came with the phone.

Then one day I wondered what it would sound like without the headphones so I upplugged them while the music was playing. Well it sounded like my old transistor radio from the 1960s and 70s. Remember them? You could take them anywhere and listen to music that was neither clear nor loud.

My next reaction was that this is not so bad, neither was the transistor radio in its day. You could still listen to music without being tethered by headphones and you could listen to other things as well.

I guess that in its day the transistor radio wasn't so bad. A connection to the past.
