This cartoon shows the typical scene... An older geneartion reminising of the good days..right next to the new generation, who never seems to care. But I wonder how many of the younger generation actually reconize the old generation character as a casette? Im sure if a child were to look at the picture, he/she could point out the iPod, but would he/she reconize that the old man figure is actually a pre-iPod way of listening to music? I bet many of the children in today's society have never even seen a casette. They grow up with the new generation of music listening, iPods, and jump at every chance to beg for the latest and greatest version. Just the other day I asked my Young Children's Cultural Art's sculpture class students what they were wishing for for the holidays. Mnay of them answered an iPod touch. These are children that are 5yrs old to 11 years old! They watch TV commercials and are brainwashed by the fact the iPod touch is such a mystical, wonderful technology! And of course, they all want one!
