Try your hand at writing a similar “love letter” to the piece of technology that means the most to you, whether it’s an iPod you own or a computer, television, camera, or cellphone you covet. Like David Pogue does, address the device directly and describe the details that make it “something special” to you. (You needn’t write about the tech specifics of the device unless you want to; instead, you might concentrate on how this device improves, or could improve, your life.) Write three paragraphs supporting your opinion. Post it on your Blog.

The way you download so many apps without a problem is so amazing. I love you wifi connections to any wifi connector just so that I can surf the web. I can put you on shuffle and go a whole day listening to you. With your 2way camera I can take photos of my self and my friends. I can also record all the good moments that I have with my loved ones, even you.

    I love the way that I can watch videos on you, and play games that are really fun and keep me busy. With you in my life I dont think that I would ever get bored. You just have so many things that I can do with you. I could even get on Facebook and email my friends. Just know that I love you and I would always protect you with a case and a screen protector. I would not let you fall into the hands of someone that would abuse you. I would make sure that I wont lose you and make sure you stay close to my heart and in my hears.

I LOVE YOU IPOD !!! <3 <3
