The iPod surely was not the first but what Apple accomplished with it can not be understated.
Music, books, lectures, stories even letters from someone you love can now be listened to easily anywhere you go. How much is that worth to you and your life?
Last year alone I listened to 42 books, some of them a couple of times. Those books were ones I had wanted to read but just didn't have the time. Now with my iPod I can take a book anywhere I go and add a tremendous richness to my life as I go through daily routines. (Think iPod)

For the iPod's fifth anniversary, Newsweek technology writer and longtime Apple Computer enthusiast Levy (Insanely Great) offers a brightly written paean to "the most familiar, and certainly the most desirable, new object of the twenty-first century." Combining upbeat reportage about the device's origins and development with higher-minded ruminations about its place at "the center of just about every controversy in the digital age," he explores how the iPod "set the technology world, the business world, and especially the music industry on its head." Levy discusses its place in the "movement of portable cocooning" begun by the Sony Walkman, exploring how the ubiquitous white buds are affecting social connections.
