I-Pods And Their Affect On The Way We Listen To Music
The way we listen to music has been revolutionised by the I-pod. The CD (which is almost old-fashion by comparison) is slowly being phased out by the music download in mp3 format.
Though Cd's are still selling in the millions every week, for the most part they will be used once (to put the contents onto ones I-pod) and then will spend the rest of its life as a drinks coaster or simply a redundant disk cluttering up space.
There were other models of mp3 player before the I-pod, however they were never as universally popular with the music listening populace, which makes up most of the population of the world.
It could be argued that this is because the I-pod offers a far more aesthetically pleasing user interface than the early mp3 players. Personally, I would say that this would be a reasonable point to make.
The previous mp3 players, if they had a display screen at all, only had a tiny one which could not hold a great deal of information. However, the I-pod has a comparatively huge display screen allowing it to display ample information, viewable with a quick glance.
There is also a touch pad on the I-pod, which not only offers greater ease-of-use, but (particularly when it first came out) it was something the users had not seen before, or at least seen very little of, and therefore was something new and interesting.
Another reason for the I-pods success, is that it supports all kinds of media. Obviously music, but it can display images, play back videos and games can even be played on the newer models.
So to create fantastic ways to pass time when its refusing to pass quickly enough, or just for background music when carrying out tasks, the I-pod is the all-in-one accessory of the decade. - 18780
