Everybody and their grandma has been drooling over the Ipod shuffle ever since it first came out. Smaller than a stick of gum, this little musical machine has become the darling of the "hip" crowd, beloved by the tech geek and cool person alike. It takes pride in its being a random music player, free from the rules and regulations of "regular" machines.
That's what I take issue with. I don't want to guess what the next song is. I want to know what comes next, so that I have the choice to listen to it or not on my own terms, not when it's already blasting in my ear. What I think is that somebody in the design team forgot a music selector in the schematics and the marketing team decided to show it as a "cool" feature.
Remember, if we don't have order, what we have is chaos. The Ipod Shuffle is chaos. Beware.
