Remediation Assignment

In our world, everything changes, whether it is for the best for our society or not, people have to find some way to adapt to these changes. The creation of new technology is suppose to make our lives easier. For example, people can now read the news on the internet at their leisure just in case they missed it on television or didn't have the chance to go buy an actual newspaper. We're now able to record television shows with the creation of dvr or tivo instead of using a vcr. All these new creations are here to help us go about our daily lives.

One thing that I feel that has been remediated is the ipod or any other mp3 player. This portable music device has come a long way. Back in the day people would carry a boombox with them if they wanted to listen to music. Then the creation of the cassette player came along so people could walk or run with a headset and listen to their music. After that it was the cd player. This device stayed around for awhile because it was a lot easier to skip to the song you wanted to hear next instead of waiting a long time for the cassette to get to the song.

In 2001, Apple created the ipod. Everyone had to have it because you were able to put all your songs on it and it was very small so you could use it anywhere. As years have progressed, the ipod has come up with different versions where you can watch videos on it, have the screen be in color or the outer part of it be a different color or have it be smaller than anything you have ever seen. Other companies have also tried to follow Apple and create other mp3 players for people to use but Apple keeps coming up with new ideas for the ipod. In the past year, they created the Ipod touch allowing people to have an mp3 player that had a touch screen as well as having many applications added to the device where you can do more than just listen to music. The remediation of the ipod has come along way and has made it a lot easier for people to listen to the music they want to listen to when they want and whereever they want.
