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.
Good idea. I remember my computer class in high school, and we were still using floppy disks. Right now, students don't even know what a floppy disk is, much less a walkman.
You must be really good at keeping stuff if you still have a functioning walkman. It's not a bad idea to continue keeping it if you ask me. Do you have cassettes too?

Nostalgia is big these days. Just look at the entertainment industry. 90% of "new" media is just rehashed old ideas to bring in a few bucks. This is expanding further with the release of retro gaming systems such as the NES, SNES and PlayStation. I don't think it'll be too long before retro audio devices are released. In fact, it's already happening. Look at how many young people have record players! Soon, having a Walkman or CD player will be desirable once again for the "improved sound quality"

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.
