The Influence of the iPod


The Influence of the iPod

The iPod was not the first MP3 player created, but it was the first truly impressive MP3 player ever made. The original iPod included a simple user-friendly interface accompanied by a strong industrial design. The iPod was a truly great invention because they were no other portable devices like them developed yet. Apple introduced the iPod as the first music sharing portable device back in 2001, and it changed the history of technology and music forever. 




The original iPod was released in November of 2001, it was both smaller and easier to use than the MP3 player. It was a Mac product, so it required the use of Mac online service. The iPod included a scroll wheel with four buttons, such as menu, forward, play/pause, and background. It included a center button in order to click on specific items. The specific design of the iPod made it very easy for customers to navigate the product. People were listening to their favorite music so easily in comparison to older versions of the MP3 player.  The iPod played a huge role in Apple's explosive growth. 

The creation of the iPod transformed the consumer electronics industry for the better. The iPod help a lot more music compared to any other MP3 player, and it was able to transfer speeds much faster. The iPod is one of the most products that Apple has ever created. It gave society the opportunity in order to listen to their favorite artists and music at any point in the day. People were to download music from iTunes directly to their device, allowing them to receive their favorite music instantly. People were able to bring their iPods with them anywhere. It was small enough to fit directly in your pocket. The iPod was the first music playing device that brought the idea of shuffling music to the world. The iPod was created with a shuffling button on it, allowing people to play all their favorite songs at random. This shuffle button changed music listeners' lives forever because it gave them the opportunity to listen to more constantly without being interrupted. The iPod created a huge impact on society because this technology led to Apple's big break.
