simplicity

i admire simplicity, it definitely rocks \m/

amidst of iphone, dslr, plasma tv, ipad, and all the things technology has to offer, it humbles to see people in their own ways of simplicity. just be more observant and you will see a lot of these in your surrounding.

just yesterday i was in the bus going home and i saw a man, probably in his early 40s, holding something that dont look like an iphone and got an earphones connected to it. i was very keen to know what it is as it really-doesnt-look-like-an-iphone-or-any-mp3players kind of thing. and to my surprise, you guess, it is a SONY WALKMAN. yes, you're right the oldschool walkman, that thing -almost half a size of an ordinary book and is very bulky. that was amazing! where am i? in a first world country, man! and what year were in? its 2011! oh gosh, dont get me wrong, i was really stunned! if only i couldve snap a photo of him, or have taken a short vid while he was taking out the cassette tape to play the reverse side of it, i will post it here. but i was not able to, remember i was in the bus, with lots of passengers.

im not saying that i define simplicity that way. i mean using gadgets of 90s. what im trying to say is that, in a fast paced world we're into, people like him still prefers to use his walkman with probably some cassette tapes inside his bag to choose from. the hell he cares with apple or blackberry. world was more simple indeed when they were just fruits.
