London - The City Where Some People Can’t Use Their iPod
The iPod has become such a ubiquitous part of the London commuter cityscape that it’s not surprising it has crossed over from being a gadget for the technically literate to a device also owned by the luddite.
Yes, it seems that the good folk of London are finding it so hard to actually use their iPods that world famous department store Selfridges is managing to extract £100 from its customers for a 40 minute iPod driving lesson.
That’s the instore price. If you want someone to come to your home there’s an additonal surcharge.
The lesson includes the use of iTunes, installing and deleting videos, creating playlists and downloading Podcasts.
TechSmec.com is firmly of the opinion that if you can’t work out how to use an iPod you should probably be banned from owning one, but we can’t fault the business sense of Selfridges. Being Londoners through and through, it pains us to put fingers to keypad on this story and we pray, for the sake of the rest of the world, that your citizens are a little cleverer than our neighbours.
