Today, I said to someone jokingly “You sound like a broken record”.
Right after the words left my mouth, it already felt awkward. That simile has totally lost its relevancy in 2010. My kids don’t even know what a record player is, let along what a broken one would sound like.
Heck, just yesterday, Steve Jobs held an Apple keynote event where he introduced a new icon for iTunes 2010 saying that iTunes digital music sales will surpass CD sales by April of 2011.
Soon, “you sound like a scratched CD” won’t even make any sense :)
What’s next? “You sound like an MP3 played on a device that’s low on internal memory?”
