As a four year old, I would record movies off the TV using a VHS. I can remember having several VHS tapes of all my favorite Disney movies. I owned\u00a0cassette tapes of sing-alongs. I remember using a floppy disk for a project in the second grade. My parents upgraded the TV to include a DVD player and we started buying DVDs. I was given a CD player to listen to my sing-alongs (and later and MP3 player). I had a flash drive by the time I was in the fifth grade.<\/p>\n<p>Truly it is amazing to know that I am a part of the generation that lived through the shift in media. We were the ones who saw the changes in technology. We weren&#8217;t immediately born into it. We were introduced to different aspects of it and were able to appreciate them both.<\/p>\n<p>Apple&#8217;s release of the iPhone 7 and wireless earbuds made me realize that corded headphones will soon become obsolete media. I personally appreciate corded headphones and their ability to not be lost or easily broken; however, Apple sees the corded headphone as a hindrance and therefore must be replaced by wireless ones. Of course, Beats made wireless headphones popular as well, but with the iPhone&#8217;s exclusion of a headphone jack, the wireless headphone craze is bound to pick up speed. Truly, corded headphones will soon become old media.<\/p>\n<p>It is interesting to look at the shifts between new and old media and how they&#8217;ve been such an important part in this generation. We were the kids who went from watching &#8220;Hercules&#8221; on VHS to watching &#8220;Mean Girls&#8221; on DVD to watching &#8220;Twilight&#8221; on Netflix. Times are changing, and luckily we are that bridge to keep both the old media and new media alive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over my eighteen year lifetime, I&#8217;ve seen my share of media.
