On the one hand, we live in a wonderful age of progress. On the other - all technical devices are still monstrously primitive and inconvenient.
Tell me, why should I have to run around looking for a mini-usb cable to connect an mp3 player to the computer?
Couldn't they have put some kind of tiny built-in microusb connector in it, with a matching "female" port always available on the front of the computer?
Or better yet - make it wireless (which is already on the way). Though then charging it would be inconvenient.
Computers Still Don't Rule
