The Sony Walkman was not only a revolutionary device, it was revolutionary on a cultural scale. With the Walkman you could play any song, anywhere, anytime, before the same was possible for movies, e-books or video games.
I just pray "woke" doesn't last as long as the Walkman. People have no idea how annoying a word can get when you hear and see it literally everywhere online. Not irl, but online. Says a lot about its validity in society if you ask me.
