Niki Saval: Wall of Sound: The iPod Has Changed the Way We Listen To Music
This article talks about how the invention of the iPod changed the way people today listen to music. It also goes back to how people were exposed to music before the iPod. The author talked about how the iPod is basically represents the “digitization of musical life”. As of right now, the iPod is becoming something nobody has anymore. Technology has evolved so much that even something as transformative as the iPod has slowly went down and nearly forgotten. I would say that the iPod was a catalyst device that led to the invention of all the smartphones and handheld devices out there. First came the iPod, which revolutionized how people get access to music. No more CDs, DVDs, or Vinyl disks, but on a compressed file. And you could download it as much as you want, delete what you want, and buy any more for a small price. It was easier and simpler. Saval emphasizes on the changes that the iPod brought to music. I felt like the iPod also brought a way to the changes and upgrade to technology in our century. As generations of the iPods came, Apple was able to add in Internet capabilities, gaming apps, and other useful functions. After that came the iPhone. With that, people could start calling, texting, etc. So now, people can do virtually anything with their smartphones. It kinda became an iPod with extensions. And this article just brings it all the way back to the device that started it all with music: the iPod.
