Music in the 21st Century

One aspect of music in the 21st century that is most impressive to me is the portability of music. While music has always been somewhat portable, the technology that is around these days makes it way too easy to carry around with you. I'm not complaining, but it is just amazing to me that it is possible to carry an entire music library on a device so small. Just think, ten years ago I was having to carry a portable CD player around that skipped all of the time, not to mention the case of CDs that had to go along with it. Now I have my entire music library at my finger tips when ever I want it. Also, in my car, it is so nice to be able to connect my iPod to my head unit. I no longer have to take up my backseat floor space with CD cases, so there is actually room in my car now. It's nice to be able to conveniently carry my music with me so I can have music with me whenever I want it. I can take it running, hiking, walking to class, and everywhere else I need it. The craziest thing about it, is that the mp3 players will only get smaller and more convenient. It's not too unbelievable that we will have our mp3 players as thin as credit cards or something. It just seems as though music will be come more and more portable, although it's hard to think of how it could get any more portable than it currently is.
