In honor of Steve Jobs and Apple, I've decided to post about MP3 players, an industry that Apple changed and revolutionized forever with the iPod. Here is the link for the article about how MP3 players work.
It is a very well written article (I love HowStuffWorks!), that describes the intricacies of the MP3 player. It is quite scary how quickly our world has advanced in such a short period of time. The MP3 file (and player) is the newest of the music industry, and probably most popular, as many platforms accept and use it and it is very compact, compressing a song into about a tenth of the space taken up on a CD-rom. Moreover, the MP3 player is a very impressive piece of hardware, doing many things in a device that weighs about an ounce (or less!). The microprocessor is the brain of the device and performs many tasks. Can you believe that something so advanced is already almost 20 years old? We can only wait to see what innovations will rock the world next (maybe you will help design the next wave of music, you just have to work towards it!). For more information, please click on the links above, or this one.
Well, that's it folks! Come back next week for another dash of Sients.
