CD Players Are On The Way Out

I looked around the electronics department of Target for a portable CD player. I had a feeling they would not have a very large selection of these items. But after searching through all the aisles I did not find a small selection of portable CD players…I found NO selection of CD players. So I went and found an employee.

“Do you guys still carry portable CD players?” I asked.

He looked puzzled for a moment—as if he was encountering someone who had time-traveled from the past—and then said, “Oh yeah.  Right over here.”

I followed him to an area where he pointed and said, “Here you go.”

“Thanks,” I said, expecting to look at several different models of CD players.  But there was only one model.

I turned to the guy and said, “That’s it?”  But he had already left.  (Hey, people get nervous hanging around with time-travelers.)

I was buying the CD player for Rachel who probably has well over one hundred music CDs.  But once again technology rolls on and it will soon be leaving another type of music collection obsolete.
