iPod vs. Tivo
As I mentioned in my Alien vs. Predator post, I sometimes like to toss a couple of things in the ring and see who would win. So I’m matching up iPod and Tivo in a no-holds-barred blood-bath to the death. Sorry…got carried away there. I want both of them to survive and flourish.
How did I ever do without either of these two items?
My iPod is with me more than any single thing in my life except maybe my watch and my contacts. I go everywhere with it. It jogs with me, it lifts weights with me, it works with me.
And yet, my Tivo technology (again, I have UltimateTV, but they are more or less the same) is really valued as well. I never watch anything at its normal time anymore and I rarely waste my time with commercials. I maximize the value of my TV time and do not let it control my schedule. Awesome.
So if you put me on an island and gave me only one, it’d be hard to choose which to take. I guess it’d have to be the iPod. But if I’m under that constraint, give me a few more gig and the ability to tap into new songs while I’m there.
Is technology cool or what?
