In the late 80's and early 90's, we can look cool having a walkman or a CD-Man in our bags. Today, I seldom see people who have those gadgets because everyone can use their phones to listen to music. I'm saving my walkman for future generations to see what we have been using before.
Walkmans were still in use in the late 90s, though not as popular. I still have my walkman with me and it will be a great device to show to the future generation. Listening to music through the phone may be a cool thing but nothing close to what the experience was like twenty or so years ago.
