Stuff you should know-how junk mail works
Honestly, I haven't listened to an audio podcast for many years. It was fun to remember these stuffs. Apple is a great company which provides the audio podcasts with a lot of fun stuffs in iTunes. I choose the topics which I am interested in, and I have really enjoyed listening to them. I like listening to these audio podcasts with background musics and interest talking which contain available information and knowledge I can learn from. Audiobook is a recording that is primarily of the spoken word as opposed to music. Audiobooks are usually distributed on CDs, cassette tapes, downloadable digital formats and, most recently, some preloaded digital formats. Audiobooks are useful for people who have trouble reading or dislike to read. They are also useful for traveling and for the blind. It can also uses for distance education.
Pro's of audiobooks
-make life more easier
-more fun compare with paper books
-instant access to the audio book upon download
-ability to move to formats that will fit your plans
-formats like WMA and MP3 allow you to minimize the space requirements for your collection
-help people who have trouble reading or dislike to read, and blind people to learn
-helpful for relaxation
Con's of audiobooks
-learning curve for new users
-locked information
-less people will spend money to buy hardcopy of books, then publishing company would worry
-make people lazy to read a book, people may prefer listening rather than reading
-may cause overuse the listeners' ears
The 2 video podcasts I watched are:
Make: TV episode 10-wareable technology & Cigar Box Guitar
ShamWow song
I like video podcasts more than audio podcasts becasuse the videos have visual impacts to us rather than only listening. I have almost spend about 2 hours on watching those interesting video podcasts, and still have not felt bored. You can almost find everything here. They are more visualized and provide more fun. Those video podcasts combine news, papers and magazines together in a visual version. I think one day the podcasts will replace those paper stuffs.
