I was taking the train home last night, listening to my ipod when a lady started talking to me.

“are you listening to music?” she asked.

“yes. yes I am,” I replied.

“you can get that even when we’re underground?” she asked.

“oh… yeah, this isn’t a radio. it’s an ipod,” I said, holding up what clearly looks like a 5th generation ipod (black).

“so you can get music even when we’re underground then?” she followed-up.

“yes.”

this woman wasn’t ancient, she looked to be in her 40s so it was a little bit unusual for her to not know what a portal recorded music listening device was. and not to be mean, but to be kind of mean, I’d like to state that according to wiki the first cassette-based walkman went on sale in 1979.
