Conveniently passing over the Flickr chapter while I still try to master it, I thought I would give my little spiel about technology. For this I have chosen the cassette tape. They are much smaller and convenient than your standard LP record, and so far, it seems that one can fit more music onto them as well. At the moment I am building up my cassette collection, and already have artists such as Duran Duran, Dead or Alive, Flock of Seagulls, Icehouse and even Kate Bush! (I bought this last one on a whim.)
Another feature of this new technology I quite like is that I am able to make 'mixed tapes'. These are blank cassettes upon which I can record my favourite songs from my record collection. You then give these mixed tapes to people that you like. I've heard you can also record songs on blank cassettes from other cassettes, although I believe the 'double decker' cassette player required for this is quite expensive.
I also believe they are bringing out a portable device to play these cassettes, which would tremendous. But that could be some way off in the future yet!
It's all very exciting. Music has reached the pinnacle of accessibility and portability. This truly is a futuristic age.
