Media Archeology Newsletter Week 5: Welcome Back!

Hello all! 

Welcome back from fall break! We hope you had a good time resting and are renewed for the final leg of the fall semester. 

Demo of the Week 

The demo of the week for this week is Macintosh 128k. 

Object of the Week 

The object of the week this week is the iDog. 

Released in 2005, the iDog was both a toy and a speaker for the iPod, which was itself originally released in 2001. At the time the iDog was released, the iPod was massively successful, providing the public a truly sleek, portable MP3 player. If you want a glimpse into news articles describing it at the time of release, this article from 2005 provides an interesting glimpse into the past. 

Movie Screening of the Month 

Our upcoming screening will be on December 7th at 7pm. We will be watching Rock & Rule directed by Clive A. Smith. 

Come join us and watch this classic film!
