iPods - Reinventing Entertainment

Movies, TV shows, games, and music.


Now playing on an iPod near you.

Technology has come a long way in the past 10 years. iPods really change the way we do media and entertainment. Do you remember the "Walkman" days, when portable cassette players were fascinating? I'm sure you'll never forget how cool it was when portable CD players entered the world. How about DVD players? That was only the beginning. Nowadays, almost all of our favorite technological features are accessible to fit in the palm of our hands--iPods!

I think iPods are awesome mainly because its size makes it easy to carry around, without being too bulky and heavy. I mean look at it! It's only as tall as a pencil. Now, you can even customize your iPod case by choosing an engravement on the back part.

I'm a big fan of bright colors, so the color selection works out very well for me!


The new iPod Video will allow me to access audio books and podcasts too! It's very exciting since one of my classes offers the podcast feature of the lectures. Can't wait to try it out!

i think ipods are amazing. It's amazing how it's associated with being 'cool.' It's the new Starbucks. I don't see anyone listen to music on a portable cd player anymore with headphones. It's become outdated. And why won't it? it's so easy and convenient. it's great for the gym!

ipods are usually great...except when I'm in the car with one of my roommates, as he likes watching his favorite tv shows on his ipod while driving around...

As an owner of an iPod since the second generation, I have seen the growth and expansion. Now I have an iPod Video and an iPod shuffle(the clip-on) and now i have over 10 cds on a thumb-sized device. How great is the world.

Most of the pod cast lectures that I have had experience with (last semester) have been audio only. I don't think that USC has taken it there, I do know that for video class lectures USC has the DEN (Distance Learning Network)....

I personally love my iPod, I have been using it in so many ways, for work (managing my calendar, files, contact list), personal (pictures, movies, music). I love that we can organize our music and movies. I love to download my pictures, connect (to TV) and show and tell...
