In which I am middle aged

Apparently the generation below mine (GenX) is being called “Millennials” and its defining characteristics are:

– texting all the time
– multitasking
– watching tv while on computer with friends
– owning a lot of dead iPods

Unfortunately I’m well on my way to #4 as my pink ipod mini died in November and the apple store people quirked eyebrows at me and said its battery was not replaceable and one must just buy another.

So I wonder if the iphone will be similar? I didn’t expect my 300 dollar fancy ipod to die an ignoble battery-death and become junk in just 2 years. I guess that makes me not a Millennial – the difference is they have dead ipods and accept it as normal.
