With the recent advent of the Ipod, a lot of people are using
portable Mp3 players to carry their entire music collection
around with them. What just a few years ago would have required
you to lug a suitcase full of CDs around, now can fit in the
palm of your hand. Some Ipods can carry up to 60Gb of songs (and
now video) on a single miniature hard drive. The Ipod even looks
cool and lights up like a magical glowing device. Besides Apple,

This doesn't even begin to get into the phenomenon of
podcasting. Podcasting is a simple concept with amazing utility
for the average consumer. Imagine if you could take an audio
broadcast of any sort (podcasting a teleseminar comes to mind)
on the airplane with you on your next business trip.
1)You don't have to be there when the teleseminar is held. 2)You
can pause it, rewind it, fast forward the teleseminar to any
point that you feel is important. 3)You can listen to it
repeatedly. 4)You can send the podcast to friends and family
members who can also take the audio content with them on their
merry way.
I do this all the time. It works great. Download and go. This is

another time zone and replay it at my leisure.
When you take your Mp3 player on the road with you, you are
basically shifting time. No more sitting around waiting for the
video or audio presentation to start. You can download it to
your portable Mp3 player and start it whenever you want.

lived without one. I was
