I loved my Sony Walkman with the cassette tapes. I made mixed tapes and then took the walkman with me everywhere. I always had to have spare batteries with me. I was a swimmer and listened to my music while waiting for my events. I still have it put away somewhere! My brother and I had the original Mattel handheld games - football and baseball. And we had the Atari 2600 VCS game console. I have always loved technology!
eBooks or printed books
I prefer printed books. While I do read books sometimes on the Kindle app, there is nothing quite like the feel of paper books.
