IPOD Killed the Video Star

With the ever increasing popularity of the Sony IPod I find myself adrift in the endless sea of powerful suggestion. It seems that unless my alarm clock, coffee pot, home stereo, running shoes, car, or even my girlfriends vibrator are connected to an IPod my day is at a loss. This great music/video advancement has become such a necessity of modern existence that it is the focus selling point for many products. The little phrase, "IPod ready" makes my blood boil and eye twitch. IPod readiness only means one thing to me, I don't own one. It amazes me that I'm able to function without the soothing sounds of Amy Winehouse every morning.
