I have been cleaning out the garage for the last couple of days. I realized that i have 3 recievers, several CD players, Tons of Speakers, etc etc etc… I hooked up a AdCom power amp, a Carver preamp, a sony CD player and some Polk Audio speakers. I still had a ton of other stuff so I asked Carter if he wanted a stereo for his room, and he say’s to me… Get this, he says… “What’s a stereo?”
So, it’s not that we don’t listen to music. We listen to music constantly. We have about 800 cd’s ripped onto the computer, we have an Ipod, a Zune, a Creative Zen, and a bunch older mp3 players. Every computer in the house is networked, so the media is everywhere. When we buy a new CD, we pop it into the computer and rip it. The cd then goes into storage.
I realized Carter has never seen a record player or a typewriter or a dictionary or encyclopedia in book form. But, damn, he hasn’t seen a Stereo. No kidding. How old are you feeling?
ugh.

Wow. I feel ancient. It’s amazing all the things our kids don’t experience these days.

CD Players are nice but today we have DVD players and Blu-ray players that are even nicer “”.
