Apple Creates a Stir in Michigan by Encouraging Legislatures to Proved Ipod to Every Student.

Several Michigan legislators took a funded trip to Apple Headquarters in California. The legislators returned and at least one of them suggested that providing an i-POD to every student in a Michigan public school was a worthy idea. I’m sure the students would not mind having one either … but why? Are teachers then going to distribute content in pod-casts or something? Give Michigan’s poor economy at this time, the idea was hardly well received and once it got out that Apple had funded the trip, the legislators decided to repay the costs of the trip. Maybe they need a pod-cast about ethics and every legislator needs an IPOD as well?
