I mean kids these days do know downloading music is a very easy way for getting music. Schools are also requiring the use of flash drives at an elementary level so they should know how to add files to one. So a general MP3 like Sony's, which WalMart sells and the highest priced ones cost $120 (not so cheap), allows the user to just add the music on like a flash drive. No need for a one way street for their music. Basically, the need for iTunes decoder and uploader and things like it are basically worthless. If it wasn't for the brand name and constant reimaging by adding none-music features the iPod wouldn't be half as popular as it is. Still the iPod's overall marketshare should be lowering thanks to increased customer knowledge and competition from Sony, Phillips, Creative, and Microsoft. |
The lowest common denominator is not children, it's middle aged adults and older. Children easily pick up thing like learning PC architecture. They're very easily acclimated into the internet, etc. It's adults that find it harder to learn and they must be coaxed into doing things a certain way. Trust me, as someone who has a completely computer illiterate mother, I can tell you no child on earth is this damn computer retarded. I taught her this year how to operate her e-mail in the most basic fashion. Every few days I would teach her how to send e-mails, attachments, etc. It took her four months to stop asking me for help.
However, these same people do enjoy technology if it's easy enough for them to understand it. This is where stadnardized programs, music stores and syncing come in. Ease of use by limiting what can be done.
