With advances made to connect both music and technology,
students found ways to stay in tune with the modern world.

iPh ones and touch sc ree n phones filled pockets and hands
throughout the yea r. Th e technologica l lea ps made toward s the end
of the decade made hi gh-tech hi ghl y access ible. Omaha's growth
as an urban city made a once borin g loca le a hot-spot for upcoming
performers and musicia ns.
"I like how I've been abl e to get out and see so me more of th e
bands I enj oy. One of my favo rites, Seawolf, was just at the Slow-
down and it was a fantastic conce rt! I'm so glad they finally ca me to butting
Omaha," senior Taylor jackson sa id . heads
Attracting new acts hasn't been the only thing for Omaha to talk
about: the ever popular Apple Stor e showed an increase in sa les
with the release of th eir newest iPod, and Microsoft release d a touch
sc ree n mp3 pl aye r in hopes of competing.
"I bought the Zune HD. It's basica lly an iPod touch, but with
better touch se nsitivity and it pl ays hi gh definition TV, ri ght on th e
scree n," freshman jennifer Kelly sa id .
Music and techn ology found a unique fu sion with the adva nces
made in portable technology . Touch sc ree ns and WiFi co mpatibility
gave users the ability to make li stening easy and enj oyab le.
"I've always been a big fan of the iPh one. I mea n, it's just rea lly ac-
cess ible and it does so much: Internet, music, games, and of course,
all the ridicul ous applica ti ons you can bu y," junior Nhu Nguyen said.
With the popular co mbinations of hi gh-tech, many options and
incredible so und, students were abl e to stay in sync and keep movin g
forward.
