Two holes

by Bob on August 9. 2007

When the Sony Walkman first came out in 1979, it assumed people were together in life.

Why?

Because it was designed with two holes for headphones, not a single one. People were thought to share music together.

Now today there is only one hole.

We are more solitary. That's not good I should imagine.

The original Sony Walkman from 1979.

It had two headphone jacks. And the orange button was to listen to outside conversation and suspend the music from the tape. No such button now.
