What technology has changed your life the most?
"My iPod classic has changed my life the most, because I absolutely love to listen to music! It lets me escape to my imagination when I’m stressed out or just don’t want to be around people. Also, my taste in music is so eclectic that I have thousands of songs on my iPod. I would honestly pick my iPod over my cell phone."
