Blog Post #8

People may not even realize or think about it too much but the iPod is incorporated in all our iPhones today. The first iPod was released in October in the year 2001 and people were only able to store five gigabytes of music on it. Now, with the innovation and growth of technology, you can store thousands of songs on a single device. Forty-Seven percent of people use an iPhone on a daily basis. The popularity of the iPhone in the current day all has to do with how we used an iPod in the early 2000s era. People could easily fit the iPod devices into their pockets. It is not a very popular device now just because people have iPhones today and the iPhones all have the iPod music capability within the device. Over time, people have leaned away from the Ipods as the Iphones have become more popular throughout American society.

However, before the Ipods became popular, people used Sony walkmans to listen to their music. The walkmans had no screen to see what you would be listening to instead, it just had buttons where you would select the song and it had the functions of pause and play. The iPod had these functions but at the same time, it was more intuitive in the sense that it had a screen where you could see what song was being played, you could create playlists, or you could customize the device or other aspects to your own liking or preferability.
