The last fifty years have witnessed an amazing array of technological innovations, such as space travel, robotics, and the computer. We've also seen the advent of many technological developments, that while certainly exciting, were not innovations. But somewhere along the line, people started confusing technological developments with technological innovations. And while new technology like loading DVD to iPod is exciting, it is not an innovation.

In order for something to be considered an innovation, it has to be something that is totally brand new and completely revolutionary. If it doesn't completely revolutionize the way we think about something or the way we do something, then it is not innovative. Loading DVD to iPod certainly has not revolutionized our lives, so it is not an innovation.

But even though it's not an innovation, loading DVD to iPod is still a pretty cool technological development. It has provided us with the convenience of being able to watch TV and movies whenever and wherever we want.

It really is amazing when you stop to consider just how far our entertainment options have come in the last fifty years. The only options you had in the 1960's were to watch a television program as it aired on one of the four stations or go to a movie theater and watch whatever happened to be playing. It's pretty remarkable.

Of course it didn't take long before the excitement over the ability to convert DVD to iPod was overshadowed by an even more exciting development, the DVD to iPod converter. Converters were soon all the rage, and dozens of tech companies jumped on the bandwagon.

Consumers really benefitted from the competition that ensued. Conversion speeds, copy quality and storage capabilities of converters all increased as each company strove to corner the DVD to iPod converter market.

Most companies went after as wide a market as possible and designed universal converters that could be used by both PC and Apple users. Other companies created specialty converters that were designed specifically for a Windows platform or a Macintosh platform.

Some companies felt convenience was the key to corning the market, so they focused their energies on developing DVD to iPod converters that were easy to use. This led to the advent of converters that required nothing more of the end user than one simple click.

Naturally it was the companies that were smart enough to create DVD to iPod converters that were both universal and user-friendly that now dominate the marketplace. These converters are versatile, and incredibly easy to use. Loading DVD to iPod with these converters is as simple as clicking one button.

So who really about the fact that loading DVD to iPod is not technically an innovation? It is one of the coolest technological developments to emerge in the last twenty years, and it provides us with an incredible amount of entertainment freedom and convenience. And at the end of the day, isn't that what is really important?
