Apple Itunes is a program that allows individuals to download media to a single device. Itunes allows Apple customers to download and organize media into a single program without searching and changing different forms of media to meet a certain need. The program also allows for the management if Apple's contents from certain Apple products. It manages what the consumer likes, and their preferred taste. The infamous Apple applications are able to be downloaded and the consumer can have fast, easy access to the applications they love without having to consult the internet, or type in a different URL every time. Quicktime is the software used to play the media on the Apple devices. Interestingly enough Itunes can be shared amongst individuals who have Apple products; their information is able to be transferred to others who have Itunes. My information is now your information. Hummm! I would not like having someone able to have access to my media that I have purchased, What about you? Although I love the genius in the development of Itunes I still find it hard to accept some of its aspects.
I'd only transfer my music if people asked me for it...I don't really put personal information on my iPod so I don't really have this problem XD But I didn't realize just how easy it is for one to get another person's information unknowingly!
ReplyDeleteI never set up genius or that new ping program that itunes has now. If someone wants a song they usually ask me and i'll send it to them. I dont feel comfortable having some access my info either, thats why I havent set up those other two programs! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's an interesting issue, isn't it. How much does the relative lack of privacy bother you? It is so pervasive now that it is almost unnoticeable. E.g. gmail (and no doubt others) customizes advertisements based on the subject lines of your correspondence - which I find both funny and rather annoying.
