I've been doing some christmas shopping online. It's known as E-commerce. When I write to people its known as E-mail. If you voted online in the last election, that was E-government. In this case the 'E' stands for electronic.
A couple of years ago Apple brought out their iMac. Followed closely by the iPod, now it seems that everyone is at it. With the iMac, the i stood for internet, but the iPod stands for intelligent (I think)
So far I have found the follwoing with the i prefix:
pod, dvd, river, HD, sight, tunes, dog, Z, Zone, Top-Pro, DP, FP and Im sure there are lots more
Well I suppose if there is a wagon with a band playing to be jumped on, people will jump on it. When you're out doing your shopping, just see how many 'i' products you see....
Interestingly, people born in the 80's and after (and I suppose the 70's) are now being referred to as the 'i' generation. So I suppose the Pod will have a far greater cultural impact than we realise at the moment.
Well, Im off for some iGrub in a minute followed by an iPint...then I may log on later for some e-filth :-)
