If you’ve sat in a doctor’s office or a dentist’s office, waiting (or waiting for someone else who is there, and not you), then it’s quite a benefit... as those old magazines get kinda boring after a while... LOL...
But, what I do is keep certain documentaries and/or other news and/or radio broadcasts or podcasts there and ready, for when I have some time I have to kill and can’t do anything else — and so it comes in very handy for those moments.

AND..., on my iPod (and I think also on the iPhone, pretty sure...) I can keep a copy of certain things and show them on other people’s TV sets in their home, if the situation comes up.
For example, there’s one that has to do with “Anthropogenic Global Warming” and I’ve got the whole thing there. All it takes is plugging it into the TV set and we’ve got some good information on the false theory of Global Warming, compliments my iPod (or the iPhone)... :-)
See the following for the item that I can “carry around” and show on any TV set...
