iPod Story part one

Before any Eastview student walks in the doors of the school, they have most likely been confronted with a small but powerful device that has completely altered the lifestyle of the American teenager, both in and out of school. When apple first came out with their newest product, the iPod, in 2001, it completely changed the music industry, especially for high school teenagers.
To many students, their iPod is more than just a music player; it allows the player to display their creativity in ways that were never available to previous generations.
Meghan Keegan, an Eastview sophomore, says that her iPod allows her to “form my own path. I listen to basically anything; I listen to what I want, even if others don’t like it.”
Others, like freshmen, Gio de Guzman, say, “I get ideas from listening to music”
It’s not surprising that the iPod has the ability to inspire musical ingenuity, considering that the iPod classic has 120 GB of storage, that’s up to 30,000 songs, or 150 hours of video. Speaking of video, the latest iPod nanos, along with the iPod classic and touch, can now play video, opening up brand new avenues of creativity for high schoolers, thanks to Apple and their pint-sized silver boxes.
