Audio Tetrad: iPod



The iPod is the best example of an mp3 player which creates an audio evolution that improves the aesthetic and musical quality with portability and instant musical gratification. It enhances the musical experience through instant downloads, portability, visual and/or auditory musical experience. This device reverses the need for buying CDs, releasing complete albums, or the need to go to a concert to see the video. iPods make portable CD players, music stereos, and walkmans’ among other audio technologies. It retrieves/rekindles the idea of live music but makes this experience portable. In the future portable devices with audio and visual elements may range from bionic implants to tiny nanotechnology devices that relay the information to the brain.

  1. Very cool tetrad! Reminds me of a mindmap!! It is amazing to think how far we have come with technology! Do you think we will ever see implants in leisurely audio? I would impagine more so with the hearing impaired/medical field. Happy Blogging! Kim Arlia
