Tonight, I learned how to salsa dance. Me and a group of friends went over to Tony's on Pugh St. and salsa danced for 2 and a half hours. I have gone only once before, and this time I improved a lot. As I stood by the side to take a break, I noticed the intricate music equipment that the DJ was operating. It was a laptop. Isn't it amazing how we evolve from disc records to 8-tracks to cassette tapes to CDs? Now the ultimate way of storing and even playing back music is a computer.
This picture is from the movie "Along Came Polly" when Reuben (Ben Stiller) secretly takes private salsa lessons to impress the girl Polly (Jennifer Aniston).
The only other forms of technology in a salsa dance club are lights and speakers.
Below is an instructional salsa video for beginners:

You would think that they gotta stop with the iPod as far as music storage goes. But who knows what they will come up with next for storing music? If they come up with something easier than the mp3 player, I'd be shocked.
