I write about a Polaroid funeral in OBSOLETE, but this is the first time I have encountered an iPod funeral. However, it looks like this one was staged for the picture, if only because the one thing that might have a shorter lifespan than an iPod is a cardboard headstone.

This photo is from a post that quotes Apple’s Steve Wozniak (aka the L train singing Santa) as saying that the iPod will “go the way of the transistor radio and Walkman, becoming a cheap and eventually boring commodity product.” In other words, in the era of the iPhone et al, what’s the point of a device that was built to satisfy just one of our senses? Please wake me when they make these things edible.
