No matter how much you love vinyl records, you can't carry them with you everywhere. That's where iPods come in.

Whether you buy music from a store or copy it from CDs to listen on the go, there are plenty of ways to get music on this device.

When we were children, there was no cable TV. We only watched local channels, so watching cartoons on Saturday mornings was a way many people relieved stress for a while. But when cable TV came along, we got to see more interesting programs for the first time in our lives. Many people who lived in remote areas as children had parents who bought them VHS tapes full of interesting programs, and their love for physical media began to blossom from there.

Even now, many people still prefer owning physical movies and seasons of shows. Certainly, picture quality has improved dramatically since the VHS days. But whenever your favorite content disappears from your favorite streaming service, there's no need to worry.

Although Kindle is great, many people still prefer paper books.
