iPods

In the past decade the iPod has completely changed how people listen to music. Instead of having to carry around ten different CD's for only 11 different songs, now all you have to do is carry around an iPod. I think this is a really good thing. It makes life so much more convenient. Instead of having this big thing to listen to music and all of CD's now all you need is to carry around your iPod. and play them in any order

For those of you who may have been living under a rock for the last ten years and iPod is a music player that was created by Apple. An iPod depending on the type can hold from 500 to 20,000 sogs. It can take all different songs from any CD or record and play them in any order. There are a few different types of iPods. The first two are the iPod classic and the iPod nano. This 2 just hold music. The classic is larger and can hold more songs, and the nano iis tiny but it holds less songs. The other type is the iPod touch. They touch can have songs on it but it also has different free or paid applications , in which you can play games, and do a lot of other things.

To be able to use an iPod you need a few different things. First off you need a computer and the iPod. Then you need to plug the iPod into the computer and download iTunes which holds all of you songs on the computer. Then you put you CD's into tge computer and download the songs, or you can buy songs on iTunes. Once you have all the songs you want on the computer, iTunes will transfer the songs onto your iPod and then you can start listening.

This product show that producers assume that Americans want a music player that is convenient. I think this because the iPod puts all your songs in one place. This shows that people want there music in one easy to use place so they don't have to worry about looking for different CD's to play.

  1. Hi Brandon: I like how in your first paragraph you situate the topic in a time frame and a frame of reference for the reader. Can you develop this even more dramatically? Do you want to include a personal narrative here? That's one possibility.

    Also, try to retain one point of view -- let's say third person singular -- for this piece. By allowing the second person (you) to figure so prominently, you are actually making the writing seem less authoratative. The third person offers you more critical distance.
