iPod and iPhone have changed our relationship with technology. iPod and iPhone are like our personal assistants, which can play music and videos and surf the Internet. They make us feel that technology is no longer something difficult to understand but has become super close, like a part of our lives. It feels like technology used to be a big star that we could only watch from afar, but now it is like our best friend who can accompany us anytime and anywhere.

How does this change affect the design of the products we usually use?

First, designers pay more attention to the user’s feelings. When they design products, they will consider: Is this convenient to use? Does it look good? Will users like it?

Second, users can interact with these products in many ways. Users could previously only type or click with the mouse. But now, users can touch the screen with their fingers and even control them with voice. Similar to playing games, users can operate in various ways.

Third, designers continue to innovate, making users feel that the products have become more enjoyable and interesting.


The final point is that you can now carry and use these products wherever you go. Similar to how we can connect our mobile phones to headphones for music listening and to computers for file transfer, we can also connect them to other devices.
