Name: Luke Ho
Class: Design and Technology
Assignment: Write about the design and development of your favorite gadget.
The iPod classic is rectangular in shape and has these dimensions: height—103.5 mm, width—61.8 mm,
depth—10.5 mm. It weighs 140 grams. When I ¿rst got my iPod, I fell in love with it immediately
because I could easily carry it in my pocket.
In 2000 Apple asked a team of engineers if they could design a personal digital music player that
was small and easy to use. And it also had to look great! The iPod wasn’t the ¿rst MP3 player on the
market, but earlier products were ugly and people weren’t able to use
them easily. The design team managed to develop the iPod in less than a
year, and it was ¿rst presented to the world in October 2001.
As I’ve already mentioned, the appearance of the iPod was very
important to the designers. The front plate is made of aluminum—available
in white, black or silver—and it has a color screen. The most attractive
feature of all is the revolutionary click wheel. At ¿rst I couldn’t imagine
how it worked, but almost immediately I managed to locate and play any
track I wanted without ever looking at the instructions.
I have an iPhone 5 too, but I still use my classic, despite some experts
saying the device is obsolete. With iTunes Match and all the music I have
stored on in my iCloud, I can access all the music on my classic from
my iPhone. I hope the iPod will continue to set the standard for digital
music players for years to come.
