The Infectious Ipod Plagues the Soul


OK..... I can't decide which of the following is more rational to do: Pretend the Ipod didn't morph into another cooler being than it already was, pretend that I don't need a device on which to download T.V., music, podcasts, and audiobooks, or go to counseling for being a geek and thinking the ipod is cool in the first place. I had to leave out the "war with Apple" category for making me and other helpless morons spend money on a device that will probably keep getting better, and thereby pilfering more money from nerds who want their legal intelligent version of crack.
If you didn't already know you will soon be able to download TV shows legally through Itunes, and play them back on the new Ipod (shown above). That is a picture off the apple.com webpage. I hope posting it is legal. hmmm Anyways, does anyone out there understand any of this, or am I all alone in the world of geekdom?
This is gonna murder Tivo and cable companies too. I mean, in the long run all we are really going to need is a sick internet connection, some big HDTV's, lots of hard drive space, and ipods. Or better yet, as soon as they can fit all this crap into a cell phone its over.
You start thinking about what's going on here. We are being baited slowly but surely until electronics take over the world. All they have to do is entertain us into oblivion, and it's goodnight to the human race.
The Matrix is on the horizon. Pretty soon all these people pleasing computer devices are going to fool us into a whole separate reality. We are being used by a giant machine in the sky. That is why I have decided to move to the woods and start working on my manifesto. I wanna go buy a new Ipod first though.

Yeah, I think I am gonna wait until the Ipod becomes so advanced I can pick my nose with it and then buy one. But I am a poor college student, not a rich bored geek doing nothing but wonder if there are any more biscuits left in the mess hall.

you know, we wont need a hand-held device in the long run. with the micro chips that are being worked on now, that will soon be able to communicate with our brains thoughts we will be able to jack in to a mainframe just like neo. litteraly. and dont think your manifesto will be better than mine. i own philosophy.

Hey Ryan,
I just wanted to make you aware that cingular has an agreement with itunes already and a xD card in the phone that is a camera. So you can listen to you audio books, music, watch a tv show, take a picture or call mom all with one device. SICKNESS huh? I only looked over it briefly as i was passing through the mall while home on leave.
