Grandparents and Archos by Nate J.

Does value even exist, or is it just an estimation of what we think an object is worth? Sometimes, valuable things can be something like a lucky penny, or a smooth, nice looking rock that can be the cheapest and smallest thing in the world, but the person that owns it, it can be the most important thing in there life. Some people might not think that, and not even care, but that person that does not care probably has something just like that, that they think is valuable. People have different kinds of values.

There are so many things I can do with my Archos 404. The first thing you can do with this is you can listen to music. The way this is programmed is of how organized it is. It can organize every song by the song name, the genre name, the band name, and even the year it was created. This is important to me because it can hold everything on my computer, and is also a backup drive for my computer and school work. It can also hold and show pictures. You can create slideshows on it and have thousands and thousands of photos. I always download my pictures onto it so I can always look at it and show people. The screen is bright, and has a 3.5 inch color HD screen. Each pixel can eject 16 million colors. This leads to what it can record.

You can buy a DVR for it which records all of the shows you want it to record. This means that you can also take the PMP (Personal Media Player) anywhere you want to go. The Archos also has a microphone that can record as long as you would want it. Also, it has an external speaker so you can listen to music, or watch shows without headphones, so you don’t have to scream for forgetting your headphones. This is how you can entertain yourself with two younger brothers in the same car. This entertains everybody. I especially loved it when I was on the plane ride, and it always soothed my ears if there was a baby screaming in the back ground.

Since my grandparents live in Poland, I don’t get to see them that often. When I get to see them, we see them in between a week to one month. No matter what time, no matter what day or kind of weather it is, I am always happy to see them. The bad thing about it is when I leave, I feel terrible. We usually stay at my grandparent’s house for about one week to one month. The last time I went to my grandparent’s house was from May to June. I wish I could go to my grandparent’s house any time I wanted, because I love it there. It doesn’t have that much technology, as much as we Americans would have, but the atmosphere, the smell is always so intoxicating there.

We always do fires when we go there. We started a fire at least 3 times there, and every single time was fun. I wouldn’t want to do any thing else during summer but to spend time with my family. Joy overcomes me when I go there, and every single time, it would have the same reaction.

Both financially and priceless value of my Archos, and how priceless grandparents really bring joy to my life, even thought the joy of my grandparents can never end, while the Archos, if that dies, I can always buy a new one or get it replaced with a warrantee. Warrantees on grandparents don’t even exist, and you can never be able to replace them. It is a sad, but true idea. The Archos give me happiness and keeps me entertained while I am going or staying somewhere, while spending time with family is a one time shot. You only have one life to spend with your family, and it should count.

In the end, you should not estimate ones value, as it could be the most precious thing in the world to that person, and you should respect that. These are my precious things, even though my PMP player is valuable to many people including myself, it has a lot of sentimental value to it too. My grandparents are something I would always cherish, and wish I always had. Well, some things are more valuable to others, but really, what is the value of anything?
