Come see our new creation.
We can all agree that if the previous decade were to have a gadget to represent it, it would be the iPod. Everybody loves listening to music, but nobody wants to carry a rucksack of cassettes or compact discs. The iPod meant that people didn’t have to snack on music anymore: they could take the [...]
