My use of ICT – iPod (personal)
My iPOD is a 20GB white iPOD. Me and my brother bought it about a year and a half ago to sh be between us. We decided to get that exceptional model of iPOD because, although it wasnt cheap, it had a in truth large memory so that meant we could gillyflower both of our medicine on it as we manage very(prenominal) antithetical music.To load the songs onto the iPOD you see to piddle a computer. With the iPOD comes a program to go on your computer called iTUNES. You load the songs onto this program via the disk drive on your computer. Then you connect up the iPOD to the computer and the iPOD automatically begins to download the songs onto it. get word how the ICT is being usedI use the iPOD mostly to listen to music, divide the quantify, and involvementally play games when I am extremely bored. My brother uses the iPOD for the similar reasons although he likes to play the games on it more than me. I like earshot to music, I often listen to it while on my paper cps every mornin g. I have found it invaluable on languish journeys, with me and my brother stuck in a car together for more hours. For the occasion when both me and my brother want to listen to at the same judgment of conviction we bought a splitter and an extra pair of headphones. So in that trend we listen to music together. We can also, which is very multipurpose too, plug it into the pop off system in the car so the whole family can listen. I dont just use my iPOD to store music on though. Because my iPOD has a great memory I can put on story tapes like the Harry Potter CDs. So we can listen to them in the car as well. I use the iPOD to occasionally tell the time too, its measure has been useful on several occasions when I havent had my phone with me.The advantages of utilise this technologyI really like the iPOD. It is a clever bearing and has many advantages. Firstly, it can be used in so many different ways, plugged into headphones, into the computer speakers, into CD faker speak ers, into car speakers, its so easy In this way it has boostd the use of more music. music relaxes many just now gives them the freedom of auditory modality to what you want, when you want. I find it useful on the airplane too as its so small and portable. It has a huge memory too so thither is a very high limit to the number songs it holds, something like 5,000. Unlike the CD player, it rarely jogs. This is useful in general. and, having a hard disk, it can be alter by shaking.The disadvantages of using this technologyTo transfer music onto the iPOD you have to have a computer. If someone doesnt have a computer, the iPOD is pretty useless. We do have a computer, but it is quite heavily used so I find it hard to find enough time for it to sit on that point and upload music onto it. I think the iPOD also can encourage illegal copying of music. The majority of music recorded on iPODs are in breach of copyright laws. I personally try non to do this, as the music companies will end up loosing money. However it is very hard to feel sympathetic towards them when you here about them pull off all these small, new, defenseless bands. I do feel that I could be breaking copyright laws, but I really dont get by exactly what constitutes breaking the copyright. I know that you arent meant to copy CDs between friends but what about if me and my brother have paid half and half for a CD? Are we only allowed to put it on one iPOD? Since I am not sure of the finer points of copyright, I dont really get to that much if I break it. Another bad point of the iPOD is that listening to very loud music played directly into your ears can revile them.I have been told off by my mum many propagation for playing music too loudly. Because flock are listening to music they are not so aware of their surroundings so people are more likely to walk out in nominal head of cars or get mugged. Music that is bought on iTunes cannot be used on any other MP3 players and vice-versa. iPOD s are also iconic. Many people, including me, think of iPODs to be the main MP3 player this makes them very expensive. The other is that iPODs get old very quickly. The makers keep bringing out new versions with added things. For example, as soon as we got ours, they brought out the same one with the ability to play videos for the same price. This is vexation but good business for the makers as they make money from us as we keep buying newer versions of their products.If I lived in a time without iPODs I would have to play my music on a CD player or even on tapes. The tapes get chewed up and CD players just arent as portable.So in summary, I think that although there are many disadvantages of the iPOD, the advantages out-weigh them. Having an iPOD, or any kind of portable MP3 player gives you freedom and more choice when and what to listen to.
