Devices I Knew

It started with the Gameboy color.

Then, a portable CD player. Soon to be replaced by an MP3 player that could only hold 18 songs.

Then a flip phone. And next an iPod. Then a BlackBerry I could never put down.

Soon after an iPod touch. Then an iPhone. And another one after that.

A FitBit. Another iPhone. Then a pair of Beats wireless headphones that I just had to have.

A Pixel phone and then, a few years later, back to another iPhone. Some AirPods right after. And now, again, a new iPhone.

These were the devices I took with me as the years passed by. The devices I always kept charged and by my side.

Now, most in a junkyard somewhere unknown.

Once were my prized possessions, the must-haves, the ones that felt like an extra limb - they really did feel like an extension of me. Well, until I found the next one.
