To continue my point from before, I find reading scholarly papers to be tedious at times. But not this time.
"Apple's iPod: I've Got the World on a String(Shaped-Earphone Chord)": How it makes me think
1. The title itself makes me wonder how dependent we are on technology
2. The introduction makes me realize how quick and easy the iPod makes everything and how convenient it is
3. The iPod assists us on things we want: easy access music, a traveling companion, a portable alarm clock, an extra watch, and endless amounts of games to provide entertainment in times of boredom
4. I start to wonder if this is so amazing, what are the possible consequences to the iPod, such as lack of attention when in the car with a conversing mom.
5. How has this sort of technology been made possible? And I mean the foundations of the idea to create such a product and the constant additions being made. What will come up next? All the designs presented really makes me wonder sometimes...
6. How does the iPod affect people socially? Are people treated differently if they don't have one? How are the people who don't have an iPod affected?
The Downside:
1. Everything written sounds the same and monotoned, which can turn me off to listening to what the argument has to say
2. If you have an iPod, you will most likely agree to how the iPod has become an essential everyday tool
3. It is written scientifically, without much creative stray, which has the potential to cause boredom for me
4. The iPod is a device designed for the younger generation. What do the older generation think?
5. Is there more to just one side of the iPod? What else could be discussed, such as the effect it has in other cultures. Is it the same?
6. There is so much more that could be gained about the iPod, such as its origins behind the necessary creation.
Note: This too was a very impressive paper. Again, not too much that put me off. It all depends on the readers interest.
