MP3 Players Do Not Have to Hold Music

Walk down the street and you will probably see 10 people at any given time listening to mp3 players or iPods. While marketing for iPods may be focused on listening to music and looking cool, there is another way of using these devices that is taking this generation by silent storm. With storage capacities of 30 and 40GB or more, these portable music players can also be used as removable storage devices for computer data. People who own iPods tend to carry it around with them a lot. Who says they have to hold music, though? So now they do not just have music at their fingertips. They could carry around an entire computer hard drive with them. Think about it. Everywhere you go you could have a copy of your resume, banking records, homework or files from your job, medical records, all in the palm of your hand and available to you at a second’s notice. Grab a USB cable and jump on the nearest computer and you are in business. Mp3 players and iPods are the new removable storage drives for all types of data, and most people do not even know it ... yet.
