The device that made music personal has gone the way of the Victrola, Betamax, and Laser Disc.
Sony announced it has stopped production of the Walkman. We come here today to praise the Walkman, in all its forms, for providing us with the first way to tune out the rest of the world and begin our transformation to a society where earbuds are the norm, and shared music a thing of the past. The Walkman is survived by its cousin, the Discman, and distant relatives at Apple.
