To get students interested in science, an easy explanation of MP3,
digital, and related technology should do the trick. The magazine
Audiophile Voice, which is run by the fomer editor of Audio Magazine,
has an article that explains these things, complete with a free
downloadable example. It is titled "Realistic MP3," and it appears in
Volume 11,Issue 1. The explanations are very easy to read. Back issues
such as that one can be obtained at
http://www.audiophilevoice.com
. Schools could possibly buy reprints of
just that one article, in bulk, at deep discounts, on special request.
(Such copies were handed out in a course at Georgia Tech. recently.)
An excerpt from the article can be read at this site, if you click on

Next month, in Issue 2 of Volume 11, there will be a similar article
explaining "wi-fi" ("wireless"), along with wi-max, streaming,
Bluetooth, and related new tech.
