Compare and contrast writting

To me, there are two very big innovations involved in the developing of America’s, face, you could say. What pops into people’s minds when they think of the U.S. I’m talking about America’s teens, and their technology. Technology changes everything, people’s jobs, their entertainment, and their attitude.
    So I’m sure you all know about the ipod, and the tablet, the iphone, kindle, ipad, and smart phones. Then every single one of those things have about 50 different versions, but I can still remember what I used to listen to songs on when I was just little. On car rides I would plug one of those big headset into this portable little CD player. If you stretch your hand out wide, that’a about how big it was. Now I’ve got this little tiny thing that fits in the palm of my hand, and not only does it play songs, but it also downloads movies, records my voice, takes pictures, photoshops pictures, and that doesn’t even begin to cover everything. I think it’s really cool how people came up with these things, and then condensed them down into these small boxes that don’t show what really goes on inside.
    Where to start? Well I guess size is a good place to start. They now have ipods with a square inch face and is less than half a centimeter in width. I wish I could travel to 1980, show random faces on the sidewalk that, and see what they would say about it. Probably the same thing a six year old now would say about an old juke box. What is it? I wish that they could see where all of this started and where all of these ideas for things came from.
    And what about headphones. Those aren’t so different. Some of them anyways. There are, of corse the classic huge headphones that you see people wear around their necks and walk around thinking “I’m so cool. Look at me with my huge headphones,” By the way, they are way wrong. Anyways, there are also earbuds, which are smaller, and a little more current.
    Also the size of cell phones has majorly decreased. Cell phones used to be huge, and you would carry them around in a big huge bag, or they would be fixed in your car so that they stay there. Also, the nightmare of any now a day teen, no texting, but having one of these phones was like having a version of the iphone a month before it came out.
    Next topic would be what these items were and are capable of. The ipod and the juke box are closely related. They do almost the same thong only ones a lot smaller. On the ipod you buy a song for a dollar or so and you get to listen to that song whenever you want. The juke box would be about the same price only you had to pay every time you wanted to listen to that song. Seeing how this has changed is really cool because everything is so different but so the same idea, even when they change.
    The headphones still do basically the same thing except with higher quality. So next up is iphones and bag/car phones. The only thing the bag/car phone did was make phone calls now, iphones do almost everything except fly.
    Technology has improved majorly and everything has been made smaller and more efficiant. I think it’s really cool to look at the progress that technology has made and to learn about what things used to be. I only wish that they’ll create a time machine so that I could see it for myself.
