There are so many versions of the iPod out there right now. Figuring out which is best for Podcasting is easy enough if you know what to look for. The 30 GB and 60 GB iPods seem to be the best yet. They all work all right, but these two have the best features. The screen display on the 30 GB and 60 GB is bigger and makes view so much nicer on the eyes. There are great benefits to this other than just making videos. It makes the iPods interface much better as well. You will be able to view more commands at once and shows more thumbnail images, as well. These iPods also come with incorporated video. You will be able to download video Podcasts onto your iPod now and get a crisp picture and sound. You will be able to go into your iTunes and find all sorts of video Podcasts, music videos, audio Podcasts, and music. The library is updated constantly as well. These two models are truly the best for viewing and listening to Podcasts.
It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.
—Marie Winn (20th century)
