Play It Again?

I have just set up a brand new pair of HomePods, 2nd Generation. I made sure I got all the updates and everything done, and this evening I am sitting on the sofa listening to some music.

It went through my mind how my late grandfather was taken aback by CDs when they first appeared in the second half of the 1980s. I got my first CD player in 1987, and my grandparents had come to visit. I wonder what he would make of this technology now when I don’t have to move off the sofa all evening; where I don’t even have to lift a finger, but just tell Siri what I want to hear next.

OK, it’s not perfect. Apple Music might state that they have 100 million tracks on offer these days, but there are still a few old favourites that the streaming services have passed by. Nevertheless, it’s a fun evening, and, for me, mostly preferable to the TV!
