Hábitos da geração iPod
"One, you don't have to wait for what you want to hear," says Valiquette, 30, an iPod user and president of Youthography, a research firm based in Toronto. "Two, it's not the volume of songs but the navigation -- by mood, genre, popularity, artist, et cetera -- that's the real genius here."
Valiquette also notes that the ability to control one's listening habits has steadily expanded since the Sony Walkman debuted in 1979, making headphones a commonplace accessory. From mix tapes to custom-made CDs, the "know-me-by-my-music" mentality of older music lovers is being taken to new heights by the iPod generation, he says.
"You don't sit around a coffee shop anymore saying, `If you dig that tune, you'll dig this, too,' " Valiquette says. "You pull out your iPod instead and say, `Hey, listen to this.' "»
