Apple AirPods

I've never been someone who delighted in getting the newest hot toy at Christmas like the Tickle-me-Elmo or the newest video game system, but this past Christmas MJ got me one of the best Christmas presents ever: the new wireless Airpods for Apple!

I've raved in the past how Laser eye surgery changed my life, and I can't even fathom the life that I had before, one of adjusting glasses constantly, having them get knocked off my face while playing basketball, glasses getting dirty and needing to be cleaned but me not noticing and them growing moldy, the prescription changing, etc., etc. And that's without even having resorted to contacts, which are a whole other world of distraction and dry eye and whatnot.

Well Apple Airpods is to the ears what Laser eye surgery is for the eyes: no longer do I have to untangle the wires to my headphones, to worry about pulling the earphones out if I throw my hands in the air or something, or where some headphones don't stick well into one's ear and keep falling out if th ear is not properly moisturized. Sure, the bluetooth came before, but Airpods seem more compatible with the ear, have a sleeker design, and the audio quality is really nice, like somebody's talking right into your ear. The game changer is the battery pack that lets the earphones charge and more importantly for me, NOT lose them somewhere (earphones go missing on me routinely every few months or so).

It's a revolution! Every time I go running or walking to work with my Airpods on (one of the few times I'm ahead of the technology curve and using the most up-to-date technology before it's already gotten old) I see other people wearing the signature white airpods, looking like a earpiece or hearing aid (which, coincidentally, my grandpa is starting to use- I hope he gets his hearing straightened out). Going up the elevator I get asked if the airpods work well, I feel like the new kid at school whom everybody is jealous of. Yay for me!

Now for the other senses besides sight and hearing! If only they came up with some way to expedite the mouth process, like delivering food to one's mouth without utensils or a hand!

Fantasize on,
