      The Sony Walkman was a far more technological advancement than having to wrangle with access codes and keeping up with all of the insidious contraptions that are necessary for these things, just to be able to talk on the phone or listen to music.
      The greatest attraction with any machine is for it to be compact and mobile...nobody really needs a computer, camera, radio, television, day planner, spreadsheet, alarm clock, bank teller, book, newspaper, movie theater, et al, in a contraption the size of an average adult's hand..
      I came up even before the 70s watching a CARTOON depict what the future could be like, and I'm still waiting for air-travel automobiles...
