I remember I had a Walkman when I was little and then I got a Discman and I thought that it was the coolest thing ever, I even remember carrying around my
Nsync cds like to school so my friends and I could listen to them during recess. 
Walkman, at 30, a mystery to teen

I remember listening to the radio and making mix tapes to listen too on my walkman.

I'm concerned that it took him 3 days to realize there was music on the other side of the tape. Are kids really that dumb these days?!
Anyway, I had a Walkman back in the day, then I had the Discman. We actually had carrying cases with holders for the CD's. It was totally awesome at the time. Oh, yeah, and this kid thinks a size of a small book is huge?!

I had a walkman and a discman. I remember thinking how kick ass the discman was when I upgraded. The market for that was pretty shortlived in retrospect.

By the way, I just realized that I'm as old as the Walkman. Awesome.

My walkman and CD player are under my bed collecting dust. I think.

They sell walkmans at the dollar store, now. Well, not the ''actual'' Sony Walkman, but little portable radios with ear buds.

That's so funny this was mentioned. Today I realized there's a freakin' Walkman laying around my house out on the counter. I have no idea who it
belongs to, but it made me laugh.

Awww, I'll never get rid of my Walkman and my tapes. I loved growing up with them.

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.
