Music
The world of music is ever growing and evolving. More than two thousand years ago Plato wrote that “music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.” Music can help process our thoughts and maintain memories. The simple act of listening can transport us to days of old evoking vivid memories. Furthermore, it has the added benefit of uniting and bringing emotional intimacy when spouses and other family members share in the creative music experiences. It is no wonder we are all drawn to music because it expresses our feelings when words fail us. The key is finding the music that speaks to the heart. Let us organize and categorize your favorite music and artists on your phones, tablets,and computers for easy access while exercising, traveling, or just relaxing.
Digital Books
An electronic book, or an eBook, is typically distributed as a digital file that can be used on any compatible computer or mobile device. With the growth in the use of tablets such as the Kindle Fire or the iPad, eBooks have been flying off the digital shelves. No longer do you need to run to the store or wait for a package in the mail. You can download them instantly over the internet for free or at a marginal cost. Once downloaded you have complete access to read the eBook’s contents. You can take notes, highlight, and bookmark pages, similar to traditional paper books.
