07w07:1 The Podern Posted February 17th, 2007 by timothy. 2 Comments Good Reads Mailing List | 2007 week 7 number 1 (The Podern) ——————————————————————— The Cultural Environment at the turn of the 21st Century | Timothy Comeau http://timothycomeau.com/blog/?p=334 “The Podern was so called because P followed O which followed N which followed M; so wrote the historian who coined the term. But a rival school of thought argues that the Podern is specific to the autumn of 2001 when Apple Incoperated introduced the iPod, which became the defining artifact of the time. As the iPod allowed for the assembly and playback of a vast amount of files (which hadn’t been possible before, and the iPod’s storage capacity at the time was unique) it is seen to be an appropriate term for this period since its culture consisted to a large extant of reassembly and recontextualization.” Apple Music Event 2001-The First Ever iPod Introduction | Apple Inc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kN0SVBCJqLs Original iPod Introduction | Apple Inc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSqNHGJw2qI —————————————- http://goodreads.timothycomeau.com To remove or add yourself to this list, go here
