Okay, my 15-year-old sister informed me last night that she had a walkman as a kid, so this kid is obviously just out of the loop.

I used to have a walkman and a discman and an mp3 player. They're all old now that I can just have it all on my cell.

Add me to the list of people who feel old now.

I loved my walkman, and that strap thing that came with it so I could hang it around my neck. And all the cassette tapes! I still have those, but I don't have anything to play them on anymore. I wish I did so I could get those songs on mp3.

Oh, and I still my last discman,...

What a snotty little brat. People were actually still using it after he was born. It may be 30 years old, but it only started dying off about 10 years ago, and the first MP3 players weren't that much better in the beginning. So really, the shit he uses now is only a few years old.

What better way to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Sony's iconic Walkman than to ask a teenager for some feedback on the device?

The BBC couldn't think of one, and neither can I.

I like to imagine that the experience was similar to an archaeologist rediscovering how a recently excavated...
