That's one high-tech boombox

Seriously. Since the 1980's have you seen anyone who feels the need to carry a "personal soundtrack" with them wherever they go? I thought the days of perching a boombox on your shoulder, blasting music, and strutting down the street were gone, but today I was proven wrong. Apparently, this is still completely normal to do, just a little more high-tech. Instead of lugging around a bulky boombox, you can just cradle a cell phone in the palm of your hand. Such was the case this morning at the bus stop, where we ran across a young kid coolly listening to music on his cell phone with the speakers at full volume. The '80s are back, my friends. The '80s are back.
